Mother's
Day
By Barbara Philbrook
Mother's
Day is that day that comes once a year,
that day when we cherish our own Mothers so Dear.
Mother who
changed all of your diapers and fed you each day,
and when you fell asleep she finished the work that got
put away.
Mother who
walked the floors as you got your new teeth,
and ran around after you keeping everything neat.
Mother who
did the laundry and wiped away the tears you would cry,
who always had an answer for when you would ask WHY?
Mother who
cooked the meals and did the dishes,
and usually the one fulfilling all of your childish
wishes.
Mother who
made sure the house ran smoothly and took the time to
read,
and made sure you had any new clothing you'd need.
Mother who
explained why other children liked to make you cry,
and why frogs sleeping under our pillows die.
Mother who
found the pet mouse in our drawer,
and explained to Dad why there are no teeth on his saw.
Mother who
was the driver for you and your friends,
and the one who has patience that never ends.
Why do we
celebrate this day once a year you ask,
I really can't say because actually it should be a daily
task.
But if you
ask your Mother what repayment is due,
I bet she'll say 'twas done simply out of love for you.
No payment
is required now or ever from you,
just pass it on, it's the Motherly thing to do!
