A Mothers love is something
She may never hide,
It doesn't matter how angry she gets
Or the hurt she holds inside.

We all came from Mothers
Some hold resentment to that fact,
But down inside the Mothers heart
Her love has never lacked.

A Mothers love may be overbearing
Or at times doesn't seem enough,
She may be as gentle as a kitten at times
But then there's times she may get real tough.

A Mothers love involves decisions
Only a Mother can make,
Most of the time her choices are right
But then there's times she makes mistakes.

It seems the right choices are easily neglected
While the mistakes are never forgot,
In her mind at times there's a battle
In her heart it's a fight she's fought.

A Mothers love is forever thinking
Of her children near or far,
A Mothers love is always with you
Like twilight and a guiding star.

How can we not love Mothers
For they are our breath of air,
They were our warm protectors
Before life on earth we now share.

So I thank you Mom for bearing me
And everyday I thank our Father above,
For this privilege that we call life
And this gratitude of a Mothers love.
