My first time to join Poetry Dice Challenge 3000- - Week 23 hosted by 
A Mother's Love and Legacy
When I was young I remember being so annoyed
I thought, did she enjoy giving spanks and scold
To everything she said, I didn't listened
I'd been that curious girl feeling imprisoned
Though food, money and everything is scars
I was lucky to be sent to school and learn the charts
Yearly we have to gather and recycle notebooks
Good thing government offers free books
My mother wants me to join a band
But my mind is just into shore and sand
Spank is her way to keep me on dry land
Every spite was in this little girl's mind
With the intention to gives us further education
She took next station and pursue that job application
Since she left and work outside country
I miss the teachings, spanks, and her being funny
Old enough to go and travel alone
Sad that I just can see you on the screen of my phone
I see you in all beautiful flowers that I pick
I feel you in all plants that I don't want to kick
Now that I am grown and have a child of my own
I want to bring him to camps and light few lamps
Wander around and write your name on the trees
Let you be the key to feel the warm and gentle breeze
To this cruel d@mn world I am but nothing
Mother knows best listen to her warnings
There is much more than earth's magnet down beneath
It is a mother's love that will make one person complete
