A Poem for All Moms
You have carried me in your womb
like any eager mother would
you're filled with excitement and joy
you are fine whether girl or boy
They were nine months of pure wonder
a new life inside, you ponder
you're willing to take all the risk
for a child that you've always wished
First moment you laid eyes on me
your tears flowed like sweat you have dripped
worthless was all the pain endured
I am the greatest gift you're sure
You were sore all over and tired
yearn for a good sleep you don't mind
you don't want me out of your sight
even my grunts give you a fright
You see me smile and you feel fine
to hold and kiss me is divine
you almost jumped when I first walked
cried a bucket when mom I called
You have watched me grow inch by inch
seen my mood swings from sweet to witch
you have given me chance to fly
you always trust I can soar high
You have watched me from the sidelines
yet you're near in my trying times
you're the one I would always call
whether I'm glad or sad at all
Thank you will never be enough
being a mom is really tough
let us all give our mom a kiss
every chance should never be missed
