A tribute to mothers?

Please comment if you will? Any advice. This is just because I was in the mood, and I feel like I don't deserve to wonderful mother I have. I appreciate her too much, more than she knows. Maybe this expresses it? Anyway....

I am lifted, by Gentle Hands

Formally know as Mother

With all the internal might that she can muster

It all goes into one push upward.

I don't know that

It isn't just a lift.

It is a save.

She, she is now knee deep

In mucky water.

The mud is a sinkhole

Swallowing her whole.

So,

She lifts hard.

The extra weight is always

Pushing down,

But she push

Up. Me

Up.

Oh mama,

I wish, you had

Held your breath.

Oh mama,

I could have

Swam to shore.

Update:

Oh, funny how irony works, huh? I am now steaming at my parents because, well, it is too personal to get into. But, here I am, looking stupid with a poem about my "wonderful" mother. I-Am-An-Idiot.
