This is for the Mothers... (Each mother that Ive known) Whose greatest hope was someday To have children of her own. For the ones who proudly rocked their dolls And kissed them each goodnight This is for the Mothers Who were told,Somethings not right. This is for the mother Who when faced with such a trial Sits beside her childs bed Just praying all the while. For moms who learned of patience In ways that no one should For mothers who know firsthand Life isnt always good. When dreams of all the oohs and ahhs As doting friends arrive Become instead...a battle To help their child thrive. This is for the mothers Who refuse to sit in silence Advocating for their child With constant love and guidance Appointments fill their busy lives Its time to go again With feeding pumps, and specialists A tank of oxygen. As people stop...to take a look... Just wondering...whats wrong? Ive seen that look, a hundred times You must be very strong. The oohs and ahhs dont matter Now life seems much more clear Im lucky Im his mother.... Im blessed to have him here. This is for the mother Whose shaking hands release The child that she loves so much (And then she prays for peace) We will take good care of him The nurse says carefully This mothers thoughts are simple Lord bring him back to me. His life no longer in her hands She wonders whats in store This is for the mother Who has walked this road before. This is for the mother Whose worst fear comes to light Were still not certain what went wrong Well watch her through the night. For mothers who sit powerless Praying...please let her survive For mothers who go on somehow When their miracle doesnt arrive. As some wake up on Mothers day To kisses, cards and laughs Others have just memories and well worn photographs. This is for the mothers Who knows that its a treasure To have a child...love a child There is no greater pleasure. For runny eggs and blackened toast Arranged upon a tray With a bunch of wilted dandelions Mom does it taste okay? For every busy restaurant And every crowded mall The words....I love you mama are... The greatest gift of all. ~Stephanie Husted https://facebook/stephanie.husted.7
