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 I that I strove for
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
