You're Appreciated Poem by Yoyama Magwashu

You're Appreciated

Rating: 4.0

I was a burden to you before I saw,
Nine months down the line you've ripped what you sow and you've let me grow
You were so patient with me even though I was hard to raise
You're were like garden boy cause you've cutted all the toxic plants that were about grow in me
You're a nurse by profession but to me, you're a teacher, preacher and a believer.
I'm so grateful that God borrowed me you until this day
And I wish and pray that he could protect you until my hair is old and grey.
It's never easy to raise a men and I must say you're brave
Infact you're appreciated Mom

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
When you read the words ‘mother love' you likely go right to thinking about the mother who gave birth to you or the mother who raised you. And while that mother definitely has a role to play in our lives, she cannot be our only source of " mother love." The world is intense. You have a lot you are holding. If you are living and showing up for you life, you will feel stretched past your limits and fear will come up. Even if you have the most amazing friends and partner, there are places within you that their love can't get to. The deeper places in your heart where the loneliness, fear, doubt, feeling of not belonging, not being enough, not knowing how live, but once you let you Mother in your heart you will find a reason to live.

line 1: Why not use 'saw you' or 'could see', not just 'saw'? line 2: 'ripped what you sow' maybe: 'reaped what you've sown' or 'reaped what you sowed'? Knowing verb tenses aka 'different forms of verbs' is tough to do. I don't know some of the names of the tenses. : )

(cont.) I don't see how 'ripped' could be what you meant to type. line 4: 'You're were' no! That's like typing 'you were were'. Right? Proofreading is important. bri : )

line 6: IF I understand what you mean to say, I suggest using 'loaned' not 'borrowed'. They have opposite meanings. bri

I like the Poet's Notes and the English grammar in it is MUCH BETTER than the grammar in the poem. I wonder why(?) . I also say that the last lines of the Notes do NOT apply to ALL people! : ) bri

After the 5th line, I would skip a line to form two stanzas, for emphasize the group of your last 4 lines and make the poem more poem-like. : ) I give 4 stars.

line 4: 'cutted'? I've never? heard a word 'cutted'. I'd use 'cut'. There are a couple of more-minor changes I'd make.

line 9: I'd use 'in fact', not 'infact'. Maybe in U.K., and some other places outside my country (U.S) , people use 'infact'?

line 6, using 'loaned', IS a very nice expression of 'love' (I guess) for 'Mom'. line 8: 'a man' not 'a men'. Perhaps you are too used to praying 'Amen'?
