English 123: Revised Sonnet



Joy
I wonder did you ever think of me
Although til then I had not yet been born
I wonder if you loved me as I be
You gave me love without a bit of scorn.

I then grew up and brought along much pain
From screaming fights and lies to cries too much.
I wish that I was not so mean and vain
I did not know that you are my best crutch.

But not I seem to have lost many years,
Abandoned you without initial sin
Look back with hurt, regret the time with tears
You are my rock and help through thick and thin.

I still need you to help me with the hard stuff,
My mother, you are always true and tough.
