Green branches draw strength from their hidden roots,
She won’t cut you off, or give you the boot.
She watches up close, even from afar,
She sees in your darkness, a shining star.
So many sleepless nights and stomach aches,
Anxiously waiting when you come home late.
Her heart breaks with yours…perhaps even more.
You’re flesh of her flesh, from your deepest core!
A mom can never, ever be replaced,
Without her close by, we can’t run this race.
Thank you, God, for the huge gift of mothers,
Thanks to them, we have sisters and brothers.
Give your mom a hug, and a warm “thank you.”
Make it sincere, from the heart, and true blue!
This is her day, just one day of the year.
Make it special, and wipe away her tears!
