To make you and love you is all
I have given you birth
I remember laying there with you on me
Your tiny hands reaching my face
Kissing your tiny feet
I went from a size 4 to a 12
Gray hair at age 27 because of a mothers love
But never with regret do I say it
I show it with pride that my little girls have all their mothers love
No matter what it is you need or want I will provide
With your father by my side or not
For now, Not
I will always wipe your tears away and always explain to you why
Are the ways they are
Fall out of love and its ok to go on
Your laugh is all I want to hear
Never your tears but I am there for when you have fears
Fears of childhood nightmares
Fears of where is my family gone to fears of growing up
I am there when you need a brick wall to lead on to when broken little
Toys turn into broken hearts I am there
I may not have much education
I may not have to prefect body or face
My love is never ending
I may not have the time to spend with you as we would like but working
Two jobs and a night shift on the streets at the corner of 2nd and 8th
So I can have those new shoes you so badly need.
I see the need and the sacrifice it takes for a mothers love
I don't want to see your blue eyes ever cry or want
I don't ever regret the things I've done
For they were for you
Please never hate me for one day you will see a
Mother's love
