Happy Mother's Day

A wonderful happy day to mothers old and new
You could never be thanked enough for all that you do
Unthanked, under appreciated, sometimes unappreciated
Today, we stop for a while to celebrate you

For all those hugs, kisses and band-aids
That helped the pain from all the boo boos fade
The smiles, the packed lunches, the washed and folded laundry
And the numerous meals you cooked and cookies you baked

Thank you ammee, ma, madre, mom
Now I have a child of my own
I hold you up as the mother
Someday I hope to become.
