Mothers

She is the first to experience you

She is the first to feel

She is the first to hear you

She gives you your first meal

She is the first to touch you

She is the first to smile

She is the first to console you

She will always go the extra mile

She hears you when you don't speak

She feels your pain

She knows what you want

She's the one who keeps you sane

She will sacrifice for you

She prays for your success

She will take the fall for you

To save you from a mess

She puts you on priority

Shares all her stuff with you

She sits by you while you study

Even if she has too much to do

She prays for your happiness

Accepts the spouse you choose

Willingly looks after your kids

Even if they blow her fuse

She accepts that she is aging

Tries to keep up with your times

She takes your harsh criticism

With no bickering and no whines

She is the one you take for granted

She knows that as well

But she allows you that liberty

As in her heart, you dwell

We realize all that she is worth

Only when God takes her away

So for the fortunate ones who have a mom

Cherise her while you may.
