Last month I asked fellow bloggers and friends to give me one word or phrase that described their mum. I said that I would use the words to write a poem for all mothers. You can see the words given here and here is the poem I have come up with. I am sorry that it is not very good. I wrote it in less than five minutes with a very painful and swollen face.

Happy Mothers’ Day!

Happy Mothers’ Day One and All
Happy Mothers’ Day Me
This is my first one of these days
And it means such a lot you see

I want my children to cherish
The relationship that we share
I want them to know on this day and always
That I will ever be there

Being a Mother is a special job
A diverse and flexible role
To support your young and care for them
Protect their heart, their soul

A mother is warm hearted
She is caring and full of love
A mother is the bestest friend you can have
She’ll be there come push or shove

A mother is sympathetic
She’ll listen whatever you say
A mother is inspirational
You hope to be like her some day

A mother is indomitable
She canot be over come
Whatever else in the world she be
She will always be your Mum

I want to be all for my children
Provide everything that they need
I will always be their Mummy
Whatever else in the world I be

I want to keep them safe from harm
Protect them from the cold
I want to have fun and play with them
Until I’m grey and old

I want to share their secrets
Help them achieve their goals
I want to hold their hands as needed
Protect their hearts, preserve their souls

As Mother I am indomitable
I shall not be overcome
My love will not be conquered
I will always be a Mum
