How did you find the energy, Mom To do all the things you did,To be teacher, nurse and counselor To me, when I was a kid.How did you do it all, Mom, Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,Yet find time to be a playmate, I just can’t comprehend.
I see now it was love, Mom That made you come whenever I'd call, Your inexhaustible love, Mom And I thank you for it all.
A Sonnet for My Incomparable Mother
I often contemplate my childhood, Mom.I am a mother now, and so I know Hard work is mixed together with the fun;You learned that when you raised me long ago.
I think of all the things you gave to me:Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears,Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul--All these you spent on me throughout the years.
You loved me with a never-failing love You gave me strength and sweet security,And then you did the hardest thing of all: You let me separate and set me free.
Every day, I try my best to be A mother like the mom you were to me.
