A Mother by Reagan Hall

A Mother

By Reagan Hall From her we got our name Our home Our peace, love and faith alone. She gave us sunshine And a reason to smile Taught us the rain only lasts a little while. For us she gave her all Her strength, her time, her life And kept us from the world and all its needless strife. For all of this we thank her, Without her we would die, Starve, and pine, and cry, All things her simple face can not bely. So if she is so vital, to all we learn and do, why do we hate and hurt her, and treat her the way we do. Her love for us knows no end, She keeps coming back for more, To care for and love us like no one else before.

One day she will be gone, Her love will be no more, And you’ll spend the nights crying, Down on the bathroom fl oor.

No two are just the same, No one is complete and perfect, But time and time again, She’ll come running for her baby, And you’ll thank the lord for it. What would we do without her? No life would be worth living, So tell her that you love her, Even if you think you’re busy.
