My Mother

The memorable moment of becoming a mother

Brings with it untold sacrifices

With an incredible fervor you take up roles

Of a nurse, a friend, a teacher and more.

You have endured whatever life put you through

And prepared for everything as they reveal

Traveled roads that I am yet to travel

Frail I would have become but for you.

If I make a wish would it be fair?

To go back and relive the good old days 

When you would hold me in your arms 

And make me laugh lifting me up in the air.
