The Joy of Being a Mother

So many times I wished to write about them 
but never had the courage to lift a pen,
could words ever describe their smiles
specially when they're hiding a surprise,
could words ever describe the joy
I feel, when they hug me tight,
could words ever describe my pride
when they walk up to receive a prize,
could words ever describe how my heart breaks 
when they fall, yet pretend to be brave,
I could never put in words the prayer I say
each time they leave home for school or play,
could words ever describe the warmth I feel
when I stand by the bed and watch them sleep,
arguing, talking, crying, laughing being together
words could never describe the joys of being a mother...

Premium Member Mother Said

“You’ll be sorry when I’m dead.”
Truer words were never spoken
And the death and dieing breed 
in fearsome promises oft broken.

“Why cry?” We said. “See, we are here.”
Your children mother, please stay.
“Do what I say and maybe dear
maybe, I'll stay.” But still she teared.

"You’ll be sorry when I’m dead."
Her heart and ours were broken.
She'd run and hide and cry in bed.
Truer words were never spoken.

Seventy some odd years she had 
Gone now, still I hear her say
"You’ll be sorry when I’m dead."
As, I wipe my tears away.

*Profound saying, "You'll be sorry when I'm dead."
