Tribute to Mothers


A cherished tribute to Mothers, on this
a special day reserved for them. I am
writing this tribute to let you all know
that there is one that honors you on
this day.

I know you have given up a guarded
treasure of virginity to become a mother.
I know about all the sleepless nights you
tended our illnesses and how you stayed
awake till we were tucked into bed and safe.

And how you gave up much of your
freedom to tend to our wants and taunts.
Oh, yes, Mothers, you're often imitated
but no one can duplicate you, for you
are very special ladies that no one can
deny respect to, or discriminate against,
because of national origin, race or color,
religion or age. For once you're a mother
you're a mother all your life.

Many take you for better or worse
and later divorce, but a mother you will
still remain for life, regardless of strife.
Yes, you dear ladies, this offspring
remembers all of you on this special day,
for you are all loved more today than
yesterday and will be loved more tomorrow
than today.

For your special day, here's wishing you all
a Happy Mother's Day!

As a poet, and a mother, and a grandmother...I thank you.  Let's see if we can keep this one at the top through May!

QjQ,

  ~Welcome to Passions in Poetry~

So very glad you are with us.

This is a beautifully written, and pardon me if I grab the moment and use it for all of it's worth.

For, I cannot help but lovingly smile when I think how like God, mothers are...You captured that with this wonderful tribute.

Thank you for posting. Looking forward to other of your work.

Hugs and happy day... Pat

A week away...all of the words should be recaptured...for lifetimes are forever too short....

and words, they can sometimes last through generations...
