Mother's day

My dad had made a suggestion to us all this year. He wanted my mom to feel loved and appreciated and so he asked that if we all felt like writing a little something for her that it would go a long ways in showing her that we cared. So, I got to writing. I am not a poet. I loved poetry as a kid and even gave my hand a try at it in high school and maybe even college but it just wasn't in the stars for me. Either way, I still managed to come up with this little tid bit for my mom on this special day this year.

What Mothers Do Best

By Shayanne Snodgress

The things you did

…I never knew

The time, the sacrifices

They are no Little things

They were Proof

The things you’ve seen, or touched or cleaned

The puke, the poop, the undiscussed few

You did it all- you saw it through

From diapers to dirty undies

From skinned knees to broken hearts

You shared the pain

You wished you could take it away

You did what you did

As proof to us all that you cared

You taught, you showed

You did…

 what mothers do best.

You Loved us.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mother's out there.
