∞A Mother’s Love∞

© By Crystal Trujillo

There is no love like that of a daughter or son,

As long as you show them, you’ll be their number one.

They bring me joy, they bring me pain,

and enjoy playing in the rain…

They make me mad, they make me proud

one moment speak softly, the next so loud…

They try my nerves, they show me love

They’re my little gifts from above…

They make me shine, they make me cry

and sometimes make me ask God , “Why?”…

They’re loved so much, yet drive me crazy

so energetic, but yet so lazy…

They ride my patience, they kiss me good night

and make my heart gleam with a love so bright…

I know that they love me and I love them, too

and could never not love them, no matter what they do…

I look at some mothers, and don’t understand

what more than love could their children demand?

And yet they neglect them as they are not even there they don’t love them or praise them,

they don’t even care…

 As if they are items to be pushed to the side

How could you bear them and not feel pride?

They are part of your being. How can you not see?

What they are taught is what they will be…

 They need you to love them and show them the way,

Do it! Tomorrow is not promised today…

 No one expects you to be the parent of the year,

but the love they return is so precious and dear…
