A Mothers Love Poem by Keith Foley

A Mothers Love

Rating: 4.5


Why do mothers Love so well,
when their children drive em crazy and give her hell?
They're not cruel, mean or unkind,
but they take advantage of her time after time.

But, a mother can't forget the birth of her babe,
so tiny and harmless, fulling a crave.
A crave that runs deep down inside,
sitting there waiting to come alive.

Isn't one enough to fill this crave?
Two or more turns mother into a slave.
But two or three are so much fun,
they always keep her on the run.

But why fill the nest with these little tykes,
zipping around on their scooters and bikes?
Because a mothers Love is so large and grand,
she's a gift from heaven, behold...His right hand!

I have never heard it put more perfect. Your so right, a mother will always love her child (children) even if they at times don't seem to love her. Beautiful poem.

Excellent observation! Quite true, children drive you absolutely crazy sometimes but that bond is so strong for most people it will never be broken.

Beautiful tribute well deserved by all mothers. We never know what to expect from our children. Each is different and offers so much more. More children, more of everything. Even true love has happy suffering. Not all suffering should be avoided and, maybe, never thought of as suffering.
