Mom

Mom

You had me at 18

Yet your life didn't stop

And your grades never dropped

You finished school

Went to college

And received something

Something that most don't

Something that most have never known

Never seen

And never completed

A Bachelor's degree

All while having me 

Taking care of me 

Feeding me 

Cleaning me 

Teaching me 

Playing with me 

All in all 

Mothering ME

And today 

I've come to say 

You have inspired ME

To push through

Finish strong 

And never give up 

So thank you 

  MOM
