Two pair of little eyes looking up at me now
I remember the time when a little plus sign spun my whole world around
And the whirlwind hasn't stopped yet
As a mother I've barely gotten my feet wet
And yet I've gained wisdom in mass amounts
My ability to see what really counts
Comes from people who aren't who they're going to be yet
From day to day who knows what to expect
Sometimes even Mothers feel hopeless and cry
But then a little girl shows up by my side
And the other one is never far behind
It seems they know just what I need
Not worth much to anybody but me
Four little arms hug tight at my knees
And to think... I'm the one who taught them how to love
And they love me even at my worst
I got to be the one to hold them first,
They have control of my heart.
Try to remember that when I start
To let my patience slip.
Motherhood is such an incredible gift,
Even if nobody brings me breakfast in bed.
One day they'll be saying all the things ie said,
Then they'll cringe at the reality of what's going on.
The legacy of a young flustered Mom,
Who learned a lot of what not to do wrong from her own,
But for all ive whined, complained and moaned,
I'm sure others have had it worse.
Fact of the matter, she's the one who loved me first
That example is engrained somewhere in me.
With out her I simply wouldn't be,
So I mention her name when I pray.
All that I am, these little girls, all that I say,
Owed to the imperfect love like no other,
In a lot of ways I'm just like my Mother,
And I should thank her every time I act just like her and cringe.
Around the world and back again,
A mothers love goes on and on.
Happy Mothers Day, Love You Mom.
