For those of you who can't define your mother
Or have lost the ability to do so
I'm here to aid you
With some choice adjectives of my own
She is a warrior
A fighter
A super hero of epic proportions
A chef
A seamstress
A maid
And often times an unpaid doctor
She could be your number one fan
Or the raving beast on the sidelines
The Joan of Arc to your never ending battles
And a sword to your shining shield
But she is not always as pleasant
Not always the savior
But the dragon who keeps you locked away
Or the glare giving teacher
But that is only on the off chance that you let her down
Which you never could
She has you above everyone else
On a pedestal like an idol
She'll love you as you love others
Being there to catch you when someone couldn't love you back
And to wipe away the salt water that was carried from the ocean to your eyes
The Ying to your Yang
The night to your day
Or the angel to your devil
The other half you couldn't live without
Giving you life
She gave you a heart and a mind
Just not as great as hers
To be loved by her is a gift
And to live with her is a privilege
She is your best friend
Your partner in legal crime
Your therapist
And she is women who gave you life and everything in between
She is your mother
Give her one day
When she gave you every other one
Happy Mothers Day
-
Love your momma, love her lots.
