Mothers are cool too, because if it
wasn't for her then there would
be no you.

She says no when you want to
hang out after dark. She's the one
who picks you up when you fall
in the park.

When you get sick, mothers stay
up all night. Worrying herself close
to death trying to make you alright.

She washes your clothes, she feed
you. She'll give you her last dime.
She'll come to your defense, when
others treat you unkind.

Never take for granted all the joy
a mother gives. Passing by a lastΒ Β 
dying breathe, just to let you live.

Mothers wear flat shoes because
thru the years they walk a lot of
miles. Doing all that they can
just to make you smile.
My granddaughter told me that her mother "just wasn't cool like me". This really bothered my daughter.
