A Mother's Life ©©

Seconds of doubt
Seconds of denial
Seconds of regret
Seconds of unrecognizing

Minutes of staring
Minutes of lies
Minutes of talk
Minutes of dispare

Hours of laughter
Hours of cooking
Hours of nursing
Hours of caring

Days of wonder
Days of sunshine
Days of hope
Days of life

Nights of sorrow
Nights of cheer
Nights of loneliness
Nights of love

Months of worry
Months of waiting
Months of happiness
Months of smiling

Years of joy
Years of pain
Years of pleasure
Years of delight

A lifetime of hugging
A lifetime of crying
A lifetime of supporting
A lifetime of pride
