This is a poem I wrote years ago, just after my mom passed away.
It's one of the poems in my poetry thread,
but thought it would be nice to share in this Mother's Day thread, too.
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
