Yes, honey

I wanna look up to her and say, "Mommy, I tried."
I wanna grab her hand and say, "Mommy, I've lied."
I wanna hug her and say, "Mommy, I'm not okay."
I want her to hold me and say, "Honey, It's just for today."
I wanna stop her and say, "Mommy, I'm sorry."
I want her to look at me and say, "Honey, there's no need to worry."
I wanna lay with her and say, "Mommy I don't wanna cry."
I want her to hold me and say, "Honey, I know you try."
I wanna buy her a gift and say, "Mommy, this is for you."
I want her to hand me a box and say, "Honey, I got you one to.
I wanna laugh and say, "Mommy, you got something on your face"
I want her to look at me and say, "Honey, you should never have to erase."
I want her to tickle me and make me say, "Mommy, I love you."
I wanna hold her and tell her, "I just can't make it through."

    A very touching poem. The dialect made this so real and down-to-earth. You seemed to highlight major parts of special relationship between a mother and daughter...something I know is very precious. The clever use of the word "wanna" however suggested you were unable to do these things which added a dimension of sadness and very emotional and real poem...
