PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I know it hasn't always been easy raising us kids on your own; struggling to make ends meet while trying to turn a house into a home.  I remember you working late nights and double shifts so we'd have clothes to wear and food to eat, and all the times you'd give up things you needed, so we'd have shoes for all our feet.  What I remember most of all is the love with us you shared, the way you kissed away our tears and showed that someone cared.  At night I thank the good Lord, mother, for sending you my way.  For you've instilled the loving traits that I carry every single day.  you showed me strength when you raised us, and courage by doing it alone; you showed you wisdom as you guided us along life's road, and faith in God, to protect us as we wandered far from home.  you showed me mother that love can conquer all, it lifts you up again after each and every fall.  So now i shout out loud, so the world may know; I love you ,mom, with all my heart and my immortal soul.
