My Speech today
In a unique way
Will Define a Mom
And then some…
It’s not always easy
There’s ups and downs
It can make you queasy
Between smiles and frowns
Let’s ask the question
And see what we find
To confirm the notion
That moms are kind
Who is a Mom?
Someone who cares…
Nurtures selflessly
one who wears
various hats…seamlessly?
That is a mom
She shares and cares
Often endlessly
She’s always aware
And progresses easily
Who is a Mom?
One who smiles
Unconditionally?
And comes alive
Nurturing tenderly?
That is a mom
Her child is dear
In many ways
It’s very clear
Make no mistake
Who is a Mom?
One that worries
When her child is hurt?
One who scurries
When her child alerts?
That is a mom
Her radar isn’t like any other
She responds with speed
For any mother
It’s an essential need
Who is a Mom?
Is she is a mentor
And a friend?
Does she have the rights words
For a child that vents
That is a mom
She’s certainly wise
And listens intently
She gives advice
That’s useful and timely
Who is a Mom?
A guide and ally
advocate for their child?
A supporter in times
When things are wild?
That is a Mom
She protects and paves
The way to success
When mistakes are made
She’s there to address
Who is a Mom?
One who aches
When her child is in pain?
One who celebrates
When she sees her child gain?
That is a mom
She shows great devotion
And wipes away tears
Connects to emotions
She’s a cheerleader
Who is a Mom?
Is she someone who gives
Without needing to take?
Does she only live
for her childrens’ sake?
That is a mom…
She is dedicated
And takes care of her child
Once they’ve graduated
She rediscovers her life.
That’s my little story
About being a mom
It’s extremely rewarding
It’s taught me to be calm
Toddlers or Teens
With their crazy moods
They still are sweet
My love stays true
It starts with a cry
From a little one
I’ve learned so much
I love being a mom!
