Mothers

Seven years ago today, it was my tenth birthday. Chubby cheeks full of chocolate, But happiness was not my fate. I had to go to school that day, No time for freedom or play. I had no friends you see, All the kids liked to bully me. For it was my tenth birthday, I wasn't going to let them get in my way. Until a boy named john pushed me, I fell on the pavement and scraped my knee. I went home crying to my mother, She said it couldn't go any further. She comforted me with presents, And unknowingly with her presence. Way back when I was ten, I didn't fit in. I didn't have a single friend But a mother is all you need in the end.
