The Best She Could

I heard you had the best Mom And so this day we dedicate But I write in recognition Of those who weren't so great Those who had to work When we needed some attention And when we reached a goal in school Were to tired to make mention Those who couldn't share In all the things that we did Perhaps a single Mother Taking care of several kids Working overtime To supply us with a home Clothing us and feeding us Until the day we'd grown Although not having time To coddle us, it's true But making sure that we stayed well Each day attending school No, Maybe not the best Mom you could ever find But all the things she did for me I'm happy that's she's mine
