Mama, Mama, Mama

A Tribute to Mother's Day

A Tribute to All Mothers on Mother’s Day

 Mama, Mama, Mama

The most significant name in a child’s vocabulary.

One that is cherished, one that not all can live up to.

One who gives support, faces our early challenges,

wards off our enemies, our foundations.

Without Mama, what would we do?

Always giving, always caring, always loving, Mama.

Trusting, loyal and devoted, our disciplinarian, Mama.

 Mama, Mama, Mama,

We’ve blossomed together into adulthood,

looking beyond what’s visible.

Becoming perfect within ourselves, for ourselves,

following mother’s advice.

Each of us has relied on her intuition, once maybe twice.

Our road in life has been paved

with Mama’s wit, sensitivity and love.

Laced with her prayers as guided by her faith in God above

Mama, our worst and best critic, not meddling or overbearing at all.

Even when not told of our needs, she is prepared to be there

If we feel weak, stumble or fall.

Gracefully she has accepted her role

as grandmother, her nurturing,

her guidance and love will never cease.

We have surrounded her with our families

as we grow and her just being Mama gives us mental peace

 Mama, Mama, Mama

On Mother’s day we honor our Mother’s, our friends.

An honor to be extended by all, again and again.
