A Mother's Love

From day one you were the best
There's no doubt that I am blessed 

From nursing my head when it was sore 
To sending me money a million miles or more 

You made me breakfast everyday 
Even on a Friday you gave me some pay 

You walked me to school hand in hand 
When I cut my knee you'd say I'll be grand 

When I was sad you wiped my tears 
And when I was afraid you consoled my fears 

How can I repay you I don't think I can 
Even that now I am a man 

To another country I did roam 
But a I can write you is this poem 

Mother I love you I truly do 
Where would I be without you

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
