Here is an original poem for all you moms. “Mom, I Care” A mother has so much to do, Like cooking and lots of dishes anew Always items scattered here and there, It is a wonder she doesn’t pull out her hair! Laundry is often done on Monday, Will she have help-maybe someday. Yes, a mother’s job is never done, We hope in her day she builds in some fun. Where is her pay, what makes it worthwhile?
The hugs, laughter, and joy of her child. So here is a wish that all can share, Just let mom know how much you care. Give her a hug, give her a kiss, Tell her just how much you miss: Her loving arms and tender praise, Her special smile and giving ways. A simple word and a great big smile Will be remembered a long, long while.
