Mom


Mom

 

Some are underappreciated some are not

Some have one kid or maybe a lot

Some are tall some are short

Some rule the house others the court

 

They are there for everyone at the drop of a hat

They support their kin and let them not fall flat

They extinguish the worst and bring out the best

They make sure their child is above the rest

 

Families with them should be thankful everyday

For they are the greatest gift given, anyone would say

Families without them should not yet cry

For they are above them in the bright blue sky

 

I am blessed to say mine is still here

Hopefully for a long time she won’t disappear

I owe her my life and much more than that

I can’t seem to find the right way to format

 

To format my love and happiness toward thee

I hope she will be able to understand and see

That I love her with the full capacity of my heart

And know that she and I will never ever part

 

I am no Dr. Seuss with rhymes in my head

I am just a simple boy who wrote this in his bed

I have something Mr. Seuss doesn’t have however

That is a woman who is the greatest mom…ever.
