ONLY A MOTHER

Only a mother knows what's going on inside 

Even when everyone else leaves you 

She always stays by your side 

Only a mother can see those unseen tears 

That didn't even flow from your eyes 

Only a mother's hug can help you get by your fears 

Only a mother can understand how you feel

And she loves you for who you are 

Only a mother love is pure and real

Only a mother can sacrifice her life for you 

And she loves you more then anyone else does

So why should you not care for her and love her back too?

I wish i could agree and say the same things as this lovely poem can, but i cant. Sometimes a mother neglects and abandons their child. But to those mothers who i see interact with their children, i greatly admire them. This poem expresses some of what i've seen, its heartfelt and beautiful. nice job! :)

My thoughts exactly but I didn't want to kill the buzz... lol. Glad you had the guts to do it! ;)

[quixotic_rose]

i have no qualms of being a buzz kill :)

LOL true true

This is a very sweet tribute to a mother's love. In the second stanza, last line, ..."overcome your fears" is grammatically correct. The last line of the last stanza is a bit too wordy. Try, "So, why shouldn't you love her, too? Or "wouldn't". Or???
Great write! Do you have something against commas and periods, in your writing?:):)

I enjoy the clear wording and heartfelt expressions. The last line seems a little too long. Maybe it could be divided into two lines, the fourth line perhaps being a new verse, or something. With this many views and reviews I feel like I'm shouting in the wind. You did good on this.

Now this was definitly a breath of fresh air afra....Very excellent wording, a great rythym, and excellent definition....Everything about this poem was well served...Short and to the point but in a non boring way...Where you stayed on the assembly line of clones with "I WISH YOU LOVED ME MOM" you jumped off of the line with a backflip in this poem....Very excellent!!! Very excellent indeed!!

[Marissa]

this is another great poem of yours...I like this!

[Laura Maidah]

What's. first line.

mother's. last line, second stanza.

anyone. second to last line.

question mark? last line. it's rather necessary to distinguish the question. I've always thought a question posed in the end is a copout to make it more poignant. Here, it fails to deliver.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

this is a tender and heartfelt piece...and the bond seen between a mother and her child can seem quite touching at times

[BillyGirl]

I agree some of the reviewers here, some mothers don't love their children. But, I know my mother loves me, and I lover her too. Thanks for sharing, this was beautiful :)

i love my mom.. this is so true! I can't live without her. She's my best friend, my support, my critic my.. everything. Its very sad that some mothers don't care for their children.
You've done a good job with the poem. Well done.

Too bad not all mothers love their children but I think this is very beautiful
