A Perfect Mom
There's no such thing as a perfect mom
I know this for myself
Cause if I had a perfect mom
She'd sit upon a shelf.
I'd sit her in the perfect place
A place for all to view
I'd dust her off everyday
To make her look perfectly new
A perfect mom would always be
The one to love you most
It wouldn't matter who you were
She'd always brag and boast.
A perfect mom would always have
Two perfect arms to hold you
She'd kiss your cheek and wipe you eyes
When you're feeling blue.
A perfect mom would never speak
A harsh word to your ears
A perfect mom would never lie
And make you cry those tears.
A perfect mom would never claim
"She wished she never had you"
But since there is no perfect mom
What is one to do?
Accept what God has given
To each and every one
A mother's love; whatever the kind
Until her time is done.
