Marilyn

my mom
is the kindest person i know.
she knows everything.
it is funny how i think i know how to cook
and then i taste something she made
and it is stunning.
sometimes i ask her questions i already know the answer to
just to make sure i am doing it right
like cutting a green onion.
i really want to be just like her when i grow up.
she is beautiful
her actions are heartfelt
and tears come to my eyes when i think about how much i love her.
