Mothers

MOTHERS Nightly loosing sleep when you screamed, yet the next day when you smiled, she beamed. Watching you proudly as you grew, patiently retrieving objects you threw. Many times went hungry while you had enough, ’Cause most of the times things were rough. Sacrificed and sent you to school, even though sometimes you acted like a fool. Watching over you when you were sick, not believing others who thought it was a trick. Instinctively guiding you to be right, to restrain yourself and not getting into a fight. Worried when you were out late, not knowing that you were with your date. Defended you in the face of trouble, also fathering you, acting as double. Taken for granted repeatedly on mothers’ days, yet, caring enough to mention you when she prays.
