Love Poem: Mother

Mother

Becoming a mother has been my pride and joy
I gave birth to an absolutely amazing little boy
They call it labour - believe me it was hard work
But it was a job I could never ever shirk

When they lay the little one on your chest
No emotion can describe it – it’s simply the best
They don’t arrive with hand books, that really is a shame
You just try your best to get it right, don’t attribute any blame

I’m not advocating we got everything right
But we tried our best with all our might
No matter how our kids turn out
We try our best to nurture them, of that I have no doubt

Mothering Sunday will soon be here
I still have my own mum I hold her so dear
Becoming a mum myself has made me appreciate all she did
I don’t suppose you think of this when you are a little kid
