Moms Come In Different Forms

You don't need a baby in your tummy
To be labeled as a mommy
As long as you give a child
Love to last them quite a while

You can be an aunt that shares
Laughter that dries all sad tears
Sharing smiles every day
Keeping the dark clouds away

A godmother full of love
That will always push and shove
Away the dangers in the night
That can cause a scary fright

A new stepmother who will be
Part of a loving family
Promising to be there
When you need guidance and care

A foster mom who wants to make
A lonely child's bad heartache
Go away and stop forever
By signing an adoption letter

Look around and you will see
 Mom types living differently
But the same in many forms
Keeping children safe and warm
