Moms Are Made of Steel

Sometimes I think moms are made of steel Touch as nails with looks that could kill Like super heroes they never need sleep And somehow all their promises they keep With the daily sun, they rise before the crew Making breakfast, chores, the never ending to do Then with the final load done, they are the last in bed Your jeans are clean for tomorrow, just like she said From the terrible twos to nonstop teenage drama They keep things straight by playing super mama But they don’t need a disguise, an alias, or a cape Just an apron and the eyebrow to put you in your place They mold you from day one with attention to detail With constant praise and patience without fail Whenever you need them, they are always there To pick you back up or to just show you they care Every meal is cooked with love and served with a smile Moms travel with you through life, each and every mile Every game, competition, and emergency room visit They bandage cuts and cure crises with everlasting wit My mother will always be my picture of perfection With unlimited advice and timeless affection She takes joy in each moment just watching us grow I couldn’t live without her; she’ll always be my super hero
