Poem Title:
Poem
She spends the morning on her bathroom floor Her body purging all she had eaten before She wipes the tears from her eyes, and cradles her belly And still goes to make her man some toast with jelly Her days are plagued with discomfort and pain Her nights offer no relief, only the same Her body is changing and will forever be scarred But the love for her baby overpowers what’s marred She goes into labor, but accepts no medication The pain becomes agony, but she bravely retains her decision And with one final push, her daughter breathes air She holds her in her arms, with an aura so fair The bond she now has can never be broken Her heart overflows and her scars are now tokens Of the trials she’s been through and the future she faces Her life and focus on her daughter she now places But life isn’t easier and sleep is no better Her daughters run rampant and are now bed-wetters She cooks she cleans but feels she can’t keep up With the messes and schedules while kids run amok She’s under-appreciated and taken for granted Her daughters are teens now and she starts to feel hated And yet she never stops caring, she still gives her all She will always be there to pick them up when they fall But I want you to know, that throughout all these years I’ve seen your undying sacrifice, your blood, sweat and tears You’ve been more of a mother than I could ever hope to be And I couldn’t possibly express how much you mean to me So wherever life takes me, whatever the future holds I hope you’ll keep this poem until you’re very old Because I want to be sure that it will forever be known How much I love you and the special bond that we’ve grown
