To Mother

Every year on Mother's Day, my mother always tells us not to give her anything. So I and my brothers and sisters always try to do something for her. Some years back I sat down and wrote her a poem. It now is framed and is hanging on her living room wall.

You brought us up all our life showing us wrong from right
There was a time I was upset but I know now it was good sense.
You kept us warm and kept us fed you even checked on us when we were in bed.
I never know how much you cared.

Till Romi wrecked his bike and hit his head you came out of the house with your housecoat on so Romi would not be alone
There are so many mothers in this world but I have to say you are the best one

There was a time you were hard on us, I was mad but after years went by I am glad
There's times I stop and think how wonderful it is to have a mother so great with all you said and did

I'm glad you didn't give up on this kid so after this I have to say
You are a special mother to this day
So sit down on this beautiful day
Because you earned I have to say.

Happy Mothers Day
