Mothers Day

Mothers Day
The second Sunday every May
I think of someone I hold dear
She made me what I am today
A day of tribute to her life

I think of someone I hold dear
Despite the time she was in pain
She cared for me through sun and rain
but there was fun and candy bars

She made me what I am today
To reach a peak that I desired
And make her proud of me once more
To carry on no matter what

A day of tribute to her life
To all the mothers who knew strife
And pledged their life to all their kin
Remember Mom on Mothers Day

And on every day in your dreams after she dies to my surprise after hearing cries of Trump everyone he denies.
