The Little Engine That Could...

A Mothers Will...

The Little Engine That Could...

This little engine comes in a small frame, but has a heart of a lion,
never quits, refuses dying,
This little engine is the epitome of the never say die attitude,
even when not in the mood,
This little engine isn't done, until she says she's done,
and very outgoing and a whole lot of fun,
This little engine has climbed the tallest mountains,
and doing so, with very little pouting,
This little engine is three men in one,
and not even a tad bit dumb,
This little engine does everything, full steam ahead,
and as a child this engine put me to bed,
This little engine I speak of is my mother,
and I tell you what, I sure do love her,
She is a true inspiration, she is always willing herself,
to her next destination,
Now mom isn't perfect, but who is in this circus,
I've seen mom derail and then prevail in the same breath,
She has always tried to keep our messed up family together,
no matter what kind of weather,
This little engine needs a break, some time to rest,
so she can again feel her best,
She needs her family, and I don't think that's to much to ask,
so mom that's my new task,
I know you feel misunderstood, but in due time it will all be good,
I love and appreciate all that you have done for us,
and with the help of God, I will fix this family, I give you my word,
a word you can trust...

I♡YOU MOM!

Mothers are always proud. They don't always say, but they are, that I can tell you for sure.
