Mom

WriteBeLight

Moms have to be,

The bad cop sometimes.

That’s Ma’s job,

Keeping you in line.

 

Moms are brave,

And, intuitive.

If she suspects something,

Not an inch, she’ll give.

 

There’s nothing like the sound,

Of her voice when she’s angry.

Like when you left the mess,

For her to clean in the pantry.

 

And, when she smiles,

Melts your heart with joy.

The times she happily said,

Oh, you good girls and boys!

 

The times you worried with her,

Through events uncertain.

Having her by your side,

Your bravery’s not deterred.

 

But, now she’s aged,

Right before your eyes.

Mind’s not as playful,

Little things slip by.

 

Still, through the years she took,

On all responsibility.

Together, forever bound,

Even though she set you free.

    Thanks HONEY for a very lovely Poem ~ in Praise of Mums ! Mums have to be very multifaceted and capable of every mood in the book. In my experience it is a change that happens during PREGNANCY that is both Physiological & Psychological. In my social circle I have known Young Ladies (some Single Mums) who i really prayed for because I thought they would make ghastly MOTHERS ~ BUT ~ as soon as they held the neonate in their arms they morphed into Yummy Mummys and coped 101% with every stage in the Baby's live ~ awesome ! Thanks for caring ~ Hugs BRIAN
