A Mothers Love
Mothers are a special breed
They fill a childs every need
Leading the way with tender loving care
A gift that only mothers can share
Crying with a scraped up knee
Child comes running with a plea
Fix it mom so I can play
With my friends I want to stay
Teenage years filled with growing pain
A mother that's almost going insane
Asking mom, can I borrow the car
I promise mom, I won't go far
Off to college to get a degree
A mothers tears is what I see
Sad to see the child go away
Happy to know she led the way

Thanks for this poem Wolfy!
I'm a mother and I raised my sons - pretty much on my own. So when I see someone pay tribute to their mother - for all the things we do, our strength, our willingness to love our children in spite of their successes or mistakes in life, it brings a smile to my heart! My mother and I, for a longer period of time that I care to openly share about, once did not have a healthy relationship. But we are closer now, as time has moved on and she is a pillar of strength and hope to me. She's 70 now and might not be around for too much longer.... I do all I can to convey how much I love her and forgive her for her frailties (sp?) in life. Thanks for writing your poetry about her and leaving it here!
