This is a poem I wrote years ago, just after my mom passed away.
I'd like to share it with all of you today
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
