Wow, this is so sweet, and i think a lot of people can really relate to it (i know i can)
It's short, but it conveys all the meaning in it. I lyk. Keep writing :P

I don't know if my attitude toward my mother will change for the better as I grow up, but you seem very grateful in this poem. I suppose the first four stanzas apply to me. A short yet thought-provoking poem.

i love it. i mean i can see where your coming from i am away from my mom in a month and i am homesick right now. i am also 13 but i feel what it means.

What prompted the change of heart at the end? In the poem you talk about all of the horrible things you've done in response to her kindness, and then, suddenly, you change in the last line. I think that if you included at least one more verse showing some sort of turn around, then it might flow a bit better. Other than that, I thought it was very good. It efficiently explains the classic mother-daughter relationship and how oftentimes, we (as daughters) dont realize how ungrateful we are. I love your work and cant wait to read more!

A few months ago I made a list which I self-mockingly titled "Recent Insights into the Nature of the Universe." Among them was "Gratitude is extremely difficult to maintain." Really it's extremely difficult to have in the first place, the further difficulty of maintanence is just an extra kick in the pants. People who deserve such respect and gratitude and you just cannot give it to them.
