A Tribute to Mothers

Our Mother No one would believe, what my mother’s done for me Even when I err, she keeps me company I’ve pushed her to the limits, of tolerance and pain And yet she still comes through, and loves me just the same My child and I live with her, two years since he was born She saw me through the pregnancy, though her patience it was worn She was my partner at the birth, gave me courage to see it through And now she’s welcomed us at home, a love so strong and true It would take too long to tell, how much I’ve put her through In years gone by, right to this day, she’s every right to do What many parents do these days, to turn their backs on children But not my Mum, the special one, she’s there for the duration With this short rhyme I hope you’ll see, how special my Mum is not just to me My son, my sister, my brother too, there’s love enough to see us through The trials of life be what they may, or just the stress of day to day I know she’ll never let us down, her love, a warm and cosy eiderdown.
