2019 Mother's Day Tribute 

(Dedication: For my grandmother, my mother, my aunts, my sisters)

So many things of motherhood

I'll never understand,

like how you can achieve so much 

without a magic wand;

or simply where you find the time

to get all you do done.

You cook and clean and go to work

you're truly Super Mom!

I rarely ever stop to think 

how hard it is for you

that ever time I make a mess 

I give you more to do;

and even when you have to yell

or spank or give the look,

it's clear that all your love for me

is not remotely shook.

It's undeniable for sure

that mom's are far unique.

Imbued with only God knows what

keeps them from seeming weak.

More than your womb, you gave your heart

to house and nurture me.

How sacrificially to live

and give yourself for free.

Sooo many things of motherhood

my mind can never reach.

Bits only walking in those steps,

experience will teach.
