A Mother

How did I end up with you?

How did you end up with us?

How did we all end up here?

Is there a name we can trust?

Mother

I have been brought to my knees.

You have been tested by tears.

We have been fed, starved and teased.

How did we not all have fear?

Mother

What will I do when you go?

What will you do when I call?

What will we say when we talk?

Most words aren't needed at all.

Mother

Thank you for giving me life.

Thank you for making me more.

Thank you for forcing my nice.

Without you I'd earned no adore.

Mother

With love on Mothers Day from your son.
