Mothers Are Magnificient
We Can Learn So Much From Them
All we have to do is listen
They have years of experience
Too often we are preoccupied with our own lives
Each time they made sure we came first
It is easy for us to forget
The years will pass
Memories will turn on easily and as often as a light switch
Their love will always comfort us
Mothers do what they do
Because they really want us to be happy
They are far more than meets the eye
Each mother comes with many surprises
Don't let their size fool you
They know what you are thinking
Long before you do
You will be outsmarted every time
They are modest and don't seek fame
Even though they are well deserving of every trophy
They let you strut like a peacock
Even when you're wrong
At anytime they know they have the power
They can cut your feathers
So you will never fly
They have been multitasking their whole lives
They are far stronger than their physical bodies
My mother was only 4 feet 11 inches
I knew better
So I made sure not to cross her
A few times I made the big mistake
It wasn't long before I knew my future looked gloomy
With a few words they know how to cut you down to size
So it wasn't long before I would apologize
Then my mother would smile with the biggest grin
Not another word said
She knew
She had won
For me it was a battle of strength
She reminded me often
I am the only one who brought you into this world
I can take you out
When it came to trouble
I got in my fair share
She helped me out of my toughest jams
Growing up every boy's hero was Superman
We never mentioned our moms
I think secretly moms have a secret supply of kryptonite
That even Superman wouldn't dare
I know my mom would always be there
In spirit she still talks to me
What were you thinking?
I raised you to know better
If you don't do what's right
You will pay for it later
Go help that woman
You know she can use your help
You don't wait to be asked
Follow your heart
It will lead you in the right direction
Are you questioning me ?
I didn't think so
To all children everywhere
Mother's Day comes once a year
You don't have to wait for this day to appreciate
What mothers do all year though
You are their greatest gift
Why not tell them how you feel
Show them in public
Let other people take notice
A little reminder goes a long way
Maybe children will come to their senses
Giving their mothers
What they always wanted
Their children's greatest love
