Mom

Mom is for helping you into your seat and helping you out of tall trees
Mom is for bumps, bruises and scratches on your knees

Mom is for cooking meatloaf, corn and mashed potatoes
Mom is for helping you with a word that nobody knows

Mom is for kittens, puppies, hermit crabs and fish
Mom is for calming you down when homework is due and it’s already ninish

Mom is for artwork, carburetors and giving hugs when you really need one
Mom is for emergencies and sewing buttons back on

Mom is for helping to make the hardest decisions
Mom is for finding peace in the most frightening conditions

Mom is for very important things, like finding a lovely wife
Mom is even more important for learning how to love one’s life
