The Love of a Mother

I love my mom, this I know

Her love for me is greater though

As a kid, I’d laugh and play

Having fun all through the day

Then one time I almost died

She stayed right by my side

Near my bed, in a chair

I opened my eyes and saw her there

She held my hand and wiped my face

She prayed for the pain to erase

My mom talked all day long

Helping me to be strong

I wasn’t broken, I could be

Anything I wanted to be

I’m more grown now and I know

A mother’s love is more than show

Even though I said one day

I told my mom that I was gay

My mom turned and said to me

She didn’t care what I may be

She said that I am still her son

And any who hurt me better run

She’ll protect me wrong or right

For me, a bear she would fight

I try my best to be good, not bad

I want my mom to be always glad

Call her mom, protector, or friend

A mother’s love will never end.
