Mother's Day

A poem about Moms.

Mother's Day

 

My mom was a strong woman,

smart and everlasting.

She taught me many things,

but most of all, how to love

someone so much like me.

She was always there,

tending to me, like a garden,

with care.

She was beautiful, the most

beautiful of all women.

She was faulted, but

still so perfect to me.

She was dependable like

the blue sea.

She was funny, and tricky

sometimes,

but through good times

and bad, she stuck it all

out, with me.

I wish she were here to

still love me.

Now, I must depend on

the memories alive in

mind, and in my heart,

loving her was like life's

best part.

She was truly the inspiration

of my life, my strength and

will, the knowlede, the

love, is never to be measured

or judged.

She did everything she could

to give me the life; she

said I deserved.

I love and miss you- Mommie!!

 

I am now a Mommie...the

best job ever.

The most rewarding of all

things, is being a mother.

There are all kinds of "moms'.

All are special and always

needed.

I love my kids so much,

more than I could ever love

myself.

I love them unconditionally,

as my mom loved me.

Even when tears flow,

and I am short of patience,

and they are very mad,

even when one might make

me a little sad.

I love them through their

shortcomings, and through

all their goodness and love,

and I know God sent them

to me, as a gift from up

above.

Thanks Mommie for all you

have taught me, and thank

you GOD, for blessing me with

children.
