    Poem Commentary

    The lyrics to a song I wrote for my mom last christmas. I hope this speaks for children everywhere.

    A Tribute to my Mom

     Mom I love you because you understand,
    When I'm caught in the whirlwind, you hold onto my hand,
    And I can't count the tight spots you've gotten me through,
    You've always said you loved me and Mom,
    I love you too.

    Although my every emotion becomes confusing,
    Despite all my rejections, it's your advice I'm using,
    And you know I want to grow up and be just like you,
    You've always said you loved me, and mom,
    I love you too.

    Twelve years of teaching have driven me insane,
    But they've also saved me, guess who gets the blame,
    And no matter what I say when this song is through...
    You've always said you loved me, and Mom



    I love you too.

    Thanks! My mom certainly seemed to enjoy it.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
