TEARS OF A MOTHER

From my first kick,

you noticed me with smiles beaming on your face.

And with all the pain I caused you,

you felt happy and smiled effortless.

You curled me in your arms each time.

And each time I went hungry,

you sacrificed your last meal.

I knew it every time you cried

to all the troubles I caused

Yet when the world closed their doors on me

You opened yours,

you've been my backbone

Sweet sweet mother
