Mothers stay up late when
Their kids can’t sleep..
A mother’s affection
Will always run deep.

A mother silently watches
Her child asleep in their bed.
She looks back on her life before she
Was a mother and her soul was dead.

How could she have been so lucky
To get this precious angel?
Knowing that if anyone hurts her baby
They are sure to be mangled.

A mother’s heart swells with pride
As her baby takes her first step.
When a child says “ I love you Mommy”,"
It was so emotional she wept.

To know that she is a parent
Is her greatest title.
Hoping that her child will be
Someone that others will idol.

A mother caresses her child’s
Face when she has been crying.
A mother comforts her child
When her grandmother is dying.

A mother hopes she’ll be
As great as her own mother.
She hopes she won’t fail
And be like the others.

A mother protects her child when she
Caught a tennis ball with her face.
And beating her step-son
Was definitely not a waste.

A mother sneaks down a phone when
Her child is unjustly grounded.
A mother makes damn sure when her
Husband insults her daughter he is fiercely pounded.

A mother looks over her mom
Perming her child’s hair late at night.
She pretends she doesn’t see her
Hiding so there won’t be a fight.

A mother comes to her child’s aid in her
Time of need when her own child is sick.
A mother cries when her father dies at the
Same time and she is forced to pick.

Does she go home and bury her father?
Or does she stay and comfort her child?
The fact that she’s put in this position
Is nothing short of wild.

A mother lets her child and her best friend
Plus their kids move back home.
Living eight hours away while her grandson
Is sick, she might as well have lived in Rome.

A mother comes to visit her sick
Grandson after a hard day’s work.
A mother comforts her daughter
When stress and chaos lurks.

A mother loves her children
No matter what the future holds.
Whether it’s life or death or
Runny noses from their colds.

A mother loves her daughter
In spite of all the troubles and tattoos.
A mother loves her daughter
In spite of their difference in views.

A mother loves her child
No matter what they do.
The feeling is mutual and
Mother, I really do love you.
