Mothers hardships
she is beautiful and bright
giving sweet kisses to say goodnight
her voice is tender as is her touch
her love is endless, she gives so much
yet tears seep out from her soft eyes
as her time is getting shorter she cries
the cruel world takes and takes
but she still gives sits and waits
her arms still hold me when I am down
but now I hold her trying to rid her frown
the shadow of doubt is becoming very dark
and the rain is endless on the path she embarks
I want to shout and ban all pain
but the clouds keep coming pouring rain
her life’s pages are full of lies and of sorrow
but she still pushes on hoping the sun will come out tomorrow.
