Mama(n)

By you, we saw the light of day.
Many times you didn’t know your way:
You plunged into the role of mother from girlfriends, partners and wives
You pushed us out, you continue to push us throughout our lives to succeed
We were lifted out of you, you continue to lift us up through our deepest, darkest nights.
You stood by us when we had battles to fight
Though often to your detriment,
You took the burden so we could rest
You supported us and prayed for us
You disciplined us so we wouldn’t cuss
Thank you, Mama, for all you lost,
Thank you for enduring all it cost.
Perfectly chosen by nature-
Different cultures call you by the same nomenclature.
Indeed the world is in your debt:
The love of a mother we can NEVER forget!
