MOTHERS – THE UNSUNG HEROES

This is not to take anything away 
From those who risk their lives everyday, 
We gratefully acknowledge their sacrifice -- 
Those who are willing to pay that high a price!
 
But there's another hero we often overlook -- 
Because sometimes we forget the hard toll that it took... 
Of course I'm talking about mothers everywhere, 
How much of themselves they gave simply because they cared.
 
A mother can't help herself that her heart is on her sleeve -- 
She can't but give of herself what she almost never will receive... 
The love she expends is so disproportionate, 
To what is her return many times, unfortunate...
 
Mothers love others more than they love themselves, 
Instinctively more selfless than anybody else... 
I urge you kids -- think twice before you go running wild -- 
A mother would gladly give her life to save that of her child!
 
A mother's motivation is love, simple and pure, 
In the Lord's creation, nothing is more sure! 
Her life is wholly devoted to those she carried within, 
United with her child, when the new life within her did begin...
 
So, my friends, I plead -- don't break your mother's heart, 
The day that you dare do so, your own will come apart! 
The Lord commanded us to honor our fathers and our mothers, 
That it may all be well with us, my sisters and my brothers!
 
If somehow we'd see the future, when this old world is gone, 
I can say for certain, I know where our moms belong! 
Heaven will be filled with countless unsung heroes, 
The Lord will lift them up on high, no longer to be zeroes!
 
So, my friends, let's never take our moms for granted, 
The respect and honor due them, in our hearts implanted; 
And let's give thanks to the Lord, not only for His Son, 
But for the mothers with which He blessed us, me and everyone
 
THANK YOU LORD, FOR MY MOTHER!!! 
THANK YOU, MOM, FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME... 
AND LOVING ME UNCONDITIONALLY!
 
YOUR VERY GRATEFUL SON, 
WHO DID NOT FULLY APPRECIATE YOU... 
UNTIL YOU WERE GONE...
