Mother's Day Tribute

The joy of Motherhood cannot be measured
Raising a child as a mom is treasured
The skinned knees, the sunburns, the social issues
The runny nose, mom just happens to have a tissue
The mother part comes first, then comes being a wife
Spouses can come and go, but you are still a mom for life
Kids discuss things with their mothers, only a mom can understand
Giving birth is a special, not understood or felt by a man
A mother's hug makes the worst things not to seem that bad
She is a listener and sometimes the best friend a child could have
So I say this to all the mothers and mothers to be
Everyone should say thank you mom for having me
And as Mother's day comes and goes
It is this tribute I wish to bestow
Enjoy this day for you have earned it
It is because of Moms like you, we all exist
