    Okay so I really love this poem.. its so sweet and it’s a really great poem but it does need some work.. and because its special and for your mom.. I put down a lot of things I think should be changed.. please don’t take it the wrong way because this is a really great poem.. however.. the flow of a poem is realy important and there isn’t a very clear flow in this poem so I told you exactly where in each stanza the flow was disrupted..

    In this stanza

    “Since birth you have cared for me.
    At times, my cries were loud,
    But you stood by me.
    Now, all I want is to make you proud.”

    The third line is too short
    Maybe you could try…

    “Since birth you have cared for me.
    At times, my cries were loud,
    But [still you always] stood by me.
    Now, all I want is to make you proud.”

    in this next stanza your second line is too short

    “As I grow older, my world begins to change,
    But you remain the same.
    There were a few things I've done in the past,
    Some things were smart, some were a shame.”

    Sorry but I have no suggestions for this one

    Um.. I think maybe there is a type-o in this stanza but im not sure

    “Even with our downs,
    Your love is there to stay.
    We yelled, screamed, and fought,
    But they don't matter today.” .. shouldn’t it be “but that doesn’t matter today” ?

    in this next stanza

    ”My sister, my best-friend,
    You are someone I will never forget.
    For you were the only one there, when no one else came.
    Being your daughter is some thing I will never regret.”

    The first two lines are too short for the last two lines.. you should either make the first two longer or the last two shorter.. but keeping it like this disrupts the flow

    now this last stanza I love .. but the last two lines are also too long

    ”As a young woman, I now realize
    God sent you from above,
    To be my mother, sister, and best-friend.
    Surely, there is nothing greater than your love. “

    You try
    stood firmly by my side
    instead of
    But you stood by me.

    Being your daughter is some thing I will never regret.
    to
    Being your daughter 'll never regret.
    if you want to mak it shorter but great wok kep it up and i hope she likes it

    5/5

    What a great poem...there's not much to say to this. as I read this I pictured a girl, starting as a baby and slowly growing up. and your rhyme pattern, the way you wrote it it sounds conversational at times, until you catch the hint of a rhyme, and then it becomes almost sing-song. very nice :)

    Keep it up

    I cannot understand how someone could give this poem less than a 5.0 rating in all honesty. This is such a sweet poem written to your mother and I hope that you showed it to her so that she knows how much you care about her [:
