You've written personal poems before that more closely depicted your thoughts on your mother, so I was certain this wasn't about her... though I do see why some readers would think it. The first stanza was very overtly the author's POV, and depicts references that are personally significant to yourself; so some would interpret the latter stanza as following the same vein. Of course, none of this has any bearing on the effectiveness of the poem
