Fire and ice
Thick and thin
Opposites
A synopsis:
The yang to my yin
***
You are ill-disposed to texting
Reality must be phoned in
The most frustrating,
Yet, my dearest friend
***
And if I’m an apple
And life is an orchard
I hope you find me sweet
Because you’re a sturdy
Tall magnificent tree
***
My mid-teen crisis
We were at our worst
With hostility
Adding to the hurt
***
We are war-tested
And growing stronger
I want you to know
Even in combat
I’m glad you’re my mother
*****
❤
