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! :)

It did flow wonderfully, also the rhyme only sweetened it. All mother out there would be proud :)!

This is wonderful, a poem I'm sure many (not all) of us can relate to. I love the way it flowed! Excellent work, I look forward to reading more of your literature prose and poetry.

I did, although catch a few mistakes. First and foremost; within the third stanza, the second line down you said "And she loves you fro who you are"...would that happen to be "for" rather than "fro". Within that same stanza, the last line you said, "Only a mother love is pure and real"...would you rather say "a mother's love"?

The last stanza, the second line down I was wondering about the slang terminology, I understand you did it so it could rhyme but it sounded...odd to me. I was thinking -oh, I caught a few more minor errors, "then" should be "than" and "any one" should be one word, "anyone"- more of "And she loves me more than anyone else does". Therefore, the poems rhythme would remain consistent, how you have every other line's last word rhyming (I can't remember what that is called exactly...ballad stanza, ABCB rhyming scheme?)

I'm rather meticulous as far as the minor details go. Overall, your poem was amazing and inspiring, I want to go and give my mother a hug right now! I only dug into the poem for the little things that get looked over, a common occurrence.

Thank you very much for sharing, I definitely look forward to reading more of your literature. Keep up the excellent work!
