Mothers

Mothers are very under rated, 
and often go without praise; 
They sacrifice so loved ones, 
have what they need each day. 
Mothers are very special people, 
but still need love and care; 
And the burdens that they carry, 
are often harder then our own to bare; 
For they carry the burdens of the ones they love, 
no matter how heavy or hard; 
And even though its never easy, 
their love remains unscared. 
It takes a special kind of love, 
to be a good mother today; 
To guide their children down the right paths, 
and never let them stray. 
I have seen many people, 
who if willing, could have this love too; 
Most are afraid to ask for help, 
as a result there are very few. 
Thank you Mom for raising me, 
in the ways that are right and true; 
Thank you for always being there, 
Mom I love and miss you!
