What a Mother Can Do For You


My daughter, Tisha, died eleven years ago this month. 
She wrote this poem to her mother for her mother's birthday that previous year. 
It works for all mothers on Mother's Day!


What a mother can do for you
She can hold you tight on cold nights
Even if you’ve been in a fight
She helps you through all the pain
And never lets you go insane
That is what a mother can do for you

What a mother can do for you
She will listen to you speak about nothing
Even though she would rather be sleeping
She will give you advice
Although you are not being very nice
That is what a mother can do

What a mother can do
She can make you feel loved
Even though you don’t deserve it
She can make you feel special
Even though you haven’t earned it
That is what a mother can do

What a mother an do
She can deliver you into a bright new world
Bring you up to be a good hearted girl
She can help you through all triumphs & losses
And even become friendly with one of your bosses
that is what a mother can do

What a mother can do
She can become your very best friend
And you will hope that someday
You will be able to be her friend
THAT IS WHAT A MOTHER CAN DO!
