Who invented Mother's Day?
Shall I tell you what some people say?

I've heard that it was mothers
who wanted recognition,
for the thankless work they do
bringing us into fruition.

Some say that it was fathers
wanting just to thank their wives,
for all the pain that they endure
bringing joy into their lives.

Others say that it was babies
telling moms "I love you so".
"You protect and nurture me,
and give me comfort as I grow."

And yet others say its sons
who thought their mothers should be praised,
for teaching love, respect and honor.
Ensuring gentlemen were raised.

But, I say that it was daughters
to tell their moms they now can see,
all that it takes to be a mother,
and because of her, they now can be.
