A Mother’s Day

A poem for Moms

The least that they deserve

Since mothers are

Worth so much more

Than every gold reserve

They preserve our families

In countless mother ways

Their hugs have cured

A multitude

Of less than perfect days

Moms pray when kids get sick

And read to fill their minds

Moms are made of muses

Who inspire humankind

It’s hard to find

Enough to say

The memories don’t stop

Moms see us at

Our lowest points

Then help us to the top

From propping children

In their arms

To playing peek-a-boo

To taking kids

To school or games

Then cooking dinner too

And who could keep

The schedule that

A mother has to keep?

Their staying up

To calm the cries

When little kids don’t sleep

Then leaping up

As birdies chirp

So she can help again

And she’ll be on

The job all day

No matter where or when

Spending time

Doing things

To make me want to say

Thank you Mom!

I love you!

And Happy Mother's Day
