Always Mothers Day

I have borrowed the first line of this piece from the"unknown scribe" , which I read many years ago.... The rest is for ALL the great mothers who are SOUPER. Who took me from my cosy cot And sat me on an ice cold pot . To make me pee ,when I could not.......... My mother Who fed me from the very start With bosomed milk , straight from the heart Then burped me, 'till I'd belch and fart...... My mother Who warmed me from the Winter breeze Dried the blood from my skinned knees But told me "fibs" 'bout birds'n bees..........My mother Who healed me when I had a chill And nursery rhymed me Jack and Jill But lied to Dad , about being on the pill...... My mother Who coaxed me past the school day bell Smiled and said .. all would be well But then went home and cried like Hell.......My mother Who was protector from life's curse Was doctor , dentist , priest and nurse Friendly Bank ,with open purse...................My mother Who lies beneath this cold grey stone In peace ,at last , and all alone The first true love that I had known..................
