    Mother

    Who held you in the rocking chair
    and sang a lullaby?
    Who walked the floor when you were sick
    just so you wouldn't cry?

    Who taught you how  to tie your shoes
    and button up your shirt?
    Who patched you up with band-aids
    Whenever you got hurt?

    Who helped you do arithmetic?
    Who took you to the zoo?
    Who was it that taught the difference
    of right and wrong to you?

    Who cooked your food and washed the clothes
    for you and for your brother?
    There is no one on earth more worthy of your love
    than this...

    Your Mother

    What a wonderful poem! As a Mother myself it is both an honor and a sacred duty that I have loved and strived for, using the example of my own Mother and GrandMother....thank you for your thoughtful words; they touched my heart!

    Thank you for the compliment. I do write from the heart so that my thoughts will remain on paper. I have lost both my parents, but I have awesome memories that live on.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
