Mothers By Sue Ellson https://sueellson.com/blog/mothers To be a mother Is a sacred blessing It creates a bond Of eternal guessing When to do this And when to do that It would have been easier To adopt a cat But with courage and conviction A mother carries on Even if we tell her She is often wrong She may not always Know what is best But her heart is there For every test As her child I underestimate her capacity As her child I admire her tenacity For in her eyes I have seen her tears And in her embrace She has quelled my fears I owe my existence To my beloved mother Forever in her debt We are a part of each other Then one day when one of us Doesn’t see the sun rise The other will carry on Regardless of how fast time flies Our memories within Our heart and mind Will keep that bond Of humankind We will respond with humility As we reflect on her commitment So often shared But still consistent For so much is unseen And hidden deep within A mother’s love Goes beyond any horizon As her child We must honour her sacrifice She put us first And got the last slice So cherish her we must For the good and the bad I had my moments too I don’t want her to be sad But I can promise her this I can make her proud By finding my own happiness And saying out loud Thank you Mum For all that you’ve done You are so much more Than just a Mum #motherpoem #motherspoem #sueellson #sueellsonpoem #poem #poetry #mothersdaypoem
