When Mothers Began
by
Phil Pochurek
Mothers began when they were begat
Way back when all that begettin was begun.
The rest of us just followed suit,
Slowly one by one.
And as our families grew and grew
Mothers became grandmothers
And daughters became wives and mothers too.
Raising and rearing us teaching us right
Loving and endearing us
So that someday we might
Make it through this life, on our own.
Our mothers don’t belong to us
They belong to motherhood.
They’re the part of heaven that touches the earth
And represents all that is good.
They carry the spark of life for God
Passing it on through the gift of birth.
Loving and caring for every moment with us
As only a mother could.
Mothers have been worshiped and cherished by us all
Since the dawn of time.
Highly respected and loved by everyone.
For all our mothers give us everyday
Whose jobs are never done
Let this moment be a token of our thanks.
A little reminder from all of us to you
A special time for all of us to say
How much we love you for everything you do
Happy Mothers Day.
