To all the moms on Mother's Day

For a job so hard it merits hazard pay

But money or no, we get our reward

In living a life in which we're never bored

The single moms have it especially hard

Never knowing which way fate will toss out the cards

"Am I raising them right? Will they all be ok?

I could sure use a job--I certainly need more pay!"

Why do we do it? People ask this of us.

How can you stand all the mess and the fuss?

Then two little arms creep around your neck

And two wet little lips give you a peck

Then we know...

All the trials and tribulations,

Paid in full for this moment of elation.

A big hug for Mom and a kiss on the cheek.

We don't ask for much but it should be...

MOTHER'S DAY WEEK!
