A Contented Mother Poem by Ray Hansell
A Contented Mother
It seems for so many years
I've lived my life for someone else
I put my feelings and needs
Away somewhere on a shelf
I always put my children first
Their needs ahead of my own
I had to look out for them
Until they were grown
Taking care of them
Was like a full time job
But it didn't feel like work
Although, at times it was so hard
I was always there for them
That, they always knew
They knew that Mom would help them
To always make it through
As the years passed they slowly changed
They gradually started to grow
Along the way they had to learn
Because there was so much they didn't know
But hopefully they listened
As I guided them along the way
Because the day will come
When they to will be parents themselves one day
You may think I gave a lot
Because true love never found it's way to me
But I didn't care and it didn't matter
Because my kids were my world to me
The day will come
When they are grown
They'll move on
To live out on their own
Then that's the time
When I will see
If true love
Was meant for me
If true love never finds me
And I have no one to call my own
I know that what I'll leave behind
Will be my kids, and they were home grown

a contented mother who is passionate about her children. she deserves the best, true love
Very heartfelt with strong emotions. 'As Soft As A Mum's Love' Powerfully and movingly penned.
Beautiful. Parents should all set this kind of parenting as their goal. Very smooth and easy to read, the rhyming pattern fit the style and message. Well done all the way around.
The words come out of the heart of a mother who has put in every bit of herself to bring up her children to be responsible citizen of society. She doesn't care if she will beget love. Thanks. Taking care of them Was like a full time job ......true love never found it's way to me
