Poem
How do you say thank you To someone who sacrifices so much She carries you within her womb Nurturing you with her love Never complaining about the stretch marks She wears each one with pride Knowing they are her testiments She is carrying a brand new life When the time is right, she knows To push you out into the world The pain unbearable yet worth The beautiful blessing in the end She cares for you day and night Sometimes with no sleep Still with the endurance of love She would have it no other way Than there comes the toddler years Chasing you back and forth Barely having time for herself But still she loves you so much Teen years are the worse you know It's when your relationship gets tested to the limits Through all the tears and silent prayers She still kneels down to pray Because she knows your love will grow Despite it's many flaws So with pride she'll stand aside Watch you as you make your own way Wanting to pick up when you fall Knowing you'll learn more fixing your own mistakes Only hoping some of what she's taught you Rubbed off along the way Next she's watching what was her baby once Start a family of their own Bittersweet in her heart She feels once again alone Just memories in a photo book Is all that will remain Because once the little ones leave the nest Her home is not the same Remember to call and visit often Tell her how much you care Because even though you live separate Your mother's heart is always your home Dedicated to my mother Karan Durst... I love you mom for everything Happy Mother's Day
