For All Mothers

A poem for all mothers

Mother

The first one to look 

Into your eyes

With the sparkle of pure love

Mother

 

Mother

The first to call you

By name

Into

A world of love

Mother

 

Mother

The one who gives 

All

To take care of her beloved

For whom she gave all 

To love

Mother

 

Mommy

One who always 

Calls back

After even

The slightest cry

Mommy

 

Mama

The first to teach and

The first to learn

Of the joys you bring

To the world

Mama

 

Mother

Always there

Always aware

And open

To guide and support

For anything

Mother

 

A friend

A supporter

A comforter

A giver 

A lover 

A mother
