A Tribute to Mothers

I'm glad there is a Mother's Day,

I'm glad we think of it in May.

I'm glad that Mother's, like April rain,

Bring new life to earth again.

 

Just like the sunshine of the spring

Mother's brighten everything.

And if a storm cloud should pass by

Moms know all the answers why.

 

They help us out through thick and thin,

To aid us on and help us win,

And send us off, each on our way,

A little better every day.

 

Now, a mothers wage is very low.

She isn't paint to cook or sew,

To clean, or mop, or wash, or dust,

Or fix the pipes so full of rust,

 

Or haul the kids from place to place

With still a smile upon her face.

"No pain, No gain!" she's heard to say

As off she goes another way.

 

So maybe today is the appointed time

To repay our moms every dollar and dime.

To give them a raise for all they do,

To show them honor, and praise them too.

 

Mothers, Thank you!  You're all so great,

And we hope this tribute is not too late,

For you to be able to relax for awhile

And take in today with a joyful smile.

 

Thanks!  Happy Mother's Day!
