For the Moms
Mothers always take the blame
When kids do something wrong
And they're the culprits if their offspring
Just don't get along.
Yet they deserve the credit
For their nine-month rent-free womb,
Which isn't quite as easy
As some menfolk would assume.
They kiss the boo-boos, warm the milk,
Make playdates, buy the clothes
And do a million little things
Nobody really knows.
Of course they have some help and yes,
They make mistakes as well,
But Mothers' Day is not the time
On deficits to dwell.
Instead, let's hear it for the moms
Who do what they do best -
Devote their lives to those they love
With very little rest!
