When She Needed You the Most

Mothers have their flaws They do not always know how to cope But as they grow older, our being there Is almost always their only hope As mothers get old They become like children again They become as dependent on us As we used to be dependent on them Mothers are where we all began Many wish to have a mom at home Shall we not abandon ours Nor in their old age, make them feel alone Love your mothers Do what you can, though sometimes hard Work towards the peace you will feel Of having no regrets when she someday depart Be there while you can Until to the life after this she goes Because the feeling that will eat you up Is the one of you not being there, when she needed you the most
