You aren’t that great
I am sorry to say
You had too many kids
you made us share bathwater
And wouldn’t give us sugar
You never had time
to play or cuddle
It was chores and more chores
And never tv time
You never bought gifts
for birthdays or Christmas.
If we wanted something
you made us make it
or go out and earn it
But you did feed us
and let us sleep in the house.
you never gave us up for adoption or sold us for rice
so I guess you’re better than nothing
Happy mother’s day
This poem is your gift
