A Princess and Her Queen

As a little girl I would imagine her as a superhero with a long and flowing cape

She would dress me from my head to toe in fancy monograms and bows

When it was time for bed she would tuck me in tight and kiss me on my nose

I looked to my superhero and knew I wanted to be just like her and it surely showed

I was her little princess and she was my queen

She made me my favorite dishes and awfully danced with me to my favorite tunes

As the pink and green ribbons ran down my golden hair I always knew

She was my inspiration and my best friend

A queen and her princess till the end

A little girl and her mother, what an everlasting love

As a preteen I looked up to her and she showed me her strength

She went through a lot but would not break

I adored her positivity and I believe she passed it onto me

Middle school was constantly rough but she never left my side

As I cried hysterically she held me close and told me I would be alright

She loved me when I couldn’t love myself

Bows and monograms turned into hollister, attempting eyeliner, and straightening my hair

Even when I was always being a brat she was still there

I was not a little girl anymore and that she could see

I was still her little princess and she was my queen

As a teenager I saw her as my best friend

We would stay up eating ice cream, watching movies and shows

Always laughing about things and making stupid jokes

I was a hot mess and she was always helping me get through

She knew when I was struggling and would let me skip school

Tears would fall and she would wipe away the droplets falling from my eyes

She never stopped believing in me and she would always tell me I was so wise

I looked forward to our lunch dates filled with hamburgers and fries

A lot of girls argue and dislike their moms as teens

I on the other hand was a princess who loved her queen

It will only be a few months until I leave for school

Most girls are excited to get away from their moms and their rules

I on the other hand don’t like to think about leaving behind my best friend

My mom will always be my superhero until the end

I will miss her every day hugs and our funny conversations

As I near being a grown adult I know she fears

Once a little ballerina dressed in monograms and bows, I am now a flower all grown

The support and love I know I can always count on and turn to

I have always looked up to her and I think she always knew

We would forever be bonded by the love we share

A princess and her queen a bond never broken, I swear
