Mom

Taking my first breath

Taking my first step

You Were There

And forever you are

            Many things

            I am content with

                        Countless things

 

You Were There

And forever you are

            I wonder how it is

            Raising a child

                        Is it hard?

                        Is it stressful?

                                    I bet I was as a hill

                                    With its ups and downs

You Were There

And forever you are

            I laugh and smile

            At the moments we had

                        Those that were good

                        And the ones not so goo

                                    The times when we were angry

                                    The times when we cried

           The times when I didn’t get you

           And you didn’t get me

You Were There

And forever you are

            I guess what I trying to give

            Is a thank you

                        It humors me

                        How much we forget

                                    That I wouldn’t be here

                                    Without you

           And I wouldn’t have met you

           And you wouldn’t have me

                       With me saying that

                       All there’s left to say

 

Is Thank You

It is always a pleasure for me to read a poem about our mothers. Great poem bro!

What a a beautiful tribute you have created here..I felt as a voyeur as I listened to your special praise and love.. In quiet hushed tones , delicate truth expressed...Beautiful as I am sure the love you both share is.

A wise person is thankful for a mother. Ain't easy to raise children today or yesterday. A mother love allow us to feel human and not alone in our world. I like the ending to the outstanding poem.
