Mothers Love

Soft brown eyes with sharp tongue
Meaning to distract the dumb
A little warning before a slap
Hard knocks hard life traps

Lots of love when you are ill
Prayers hugs and home cooked meal
Long black stares when you act up
Quick glare with action follow up

Eating less so kids eat more
Needing blessing cause it fell on the floor
Home is warm not rich or poor
Middle class until we pay the Lord

Tithes a tenth or feel her wrath
Need consent in church to laugh
At a joke meant for the mature
Holy Ghost will keep us pure.

She wears name brand from the thrift
But yours is new and a purchased gift
She loves hard makes it easier for you
Praying to God as mothers do.
