A poem I wrote my mom back in 2001

Mothers

Mothers were sent from God above,

to show the world how to love.

How to love, you might say,

a true mother knows no other way.

A true mother knows her child inside and out,

pe She knows when they are happy, sad or mad, without a doubt.

A mother always knows what to do,

whether her child is happy or blue.

She's always there to share a laugh,

or there to lend an ear.

She's there to share a cry,

or there to wipe away the tears.

The world today is not a perfect place to be,

but a true mother tries her best to change that fact.

To make her child happy and free,

To make them smile each day with glee.

Mothers are special this is true,

I should know I have you.

Dear mom you're always there for me

and I know you always will be.

Thank you mom for teaching me how to love,

this I hope to pass on to my little girl.

I hope and pray I can be the kind of mom you have been to me.
