a special shoutout to all mothers who..........
day in and day out take care of their kids
sacrifice their life to provide a better life for her kids
works to maintain a steady roof over one's head
makes sure clothes is on their child's back
everyday puts food on the table so her kids won't die of hunger
portrays the role of mommy and daddy (especially if it's a boy)
shows their kids how to be good men and women in this racist tabloid call society
tells their kids that there is hope
tell their kids she loves them regardless of........
how tire
how angry
how sad
she is there for them despite hardship
she is the captain to her kids on a flagship
is not afraid to tell her kids the truth (even if it hurts)
can apologize to her kids when she can admit her mistakes
i have a mother
in whom i haven't said happy mother's day
in a very long time
don't recall when she ever admitted her mistakes
her glory of power cost her
i moved on and live in peace
my mom needs to take a page from
mothers who epitomize love to her kids
