An Inspirational Poem for Mother's Day
By: Nicola Kennedy
If you are looking for an inspirational poem that shows an understanding
of what a mom has to deal with, this is the one.
Every mom, young or old, knows this by heart and can only hope
that her children will understand when they grow up. "You don't
love me!"
How many times have your kids laid that one on you? And how
many times have you, as a parent, resisted the urge to tell
them how much?
Someday, when my children are old enough to understand the logic
that motivates a mother, I will tell them.
A MOTHER'S LOVE GOES DEEP
I loved you enough to insist you buy a bike with your own money
that we could afford and you couldn't.
I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your handpicked
friend was a creep;
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you
cleaned your bedroom, a job that would have taken me fifteen
minutes.
I loved you enough to say, "Yes, you may go to Disney World
on Mother's Day."
I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, mistrust
and tears in my eyes.
I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect
or you bad manners.
I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and ask your forgiveness.
I loved you enough to ignore "what every other mother" did or
said.
I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall, hurt and fail.
I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for
your own actions, at 6, 10, and 16.
I loved you enough to figure you would lie about the party being
chaperoned but forgave you for it after discovering I was right.
I
loved you enough to shove you off my lap, let go of your hand,
be mute to your pleas and insensitive to your demands...so that
you had to stand alone.
I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, not what
I wanted you to be.
But most of all, I loved you enough to say "no" when you hated
me for it.
THAT WAS THE HARDEST PART OF ALL.
