MOTHERS DAY

Today is a happy occasion for some
But for others who lost their mothers
Or have nothing to celebrate in her
A celebration is what they'd prefer
But the situation surrounding mother
Is complex or sick

Being mom is a privilege 
To teach and nurture your seed
Some forfeit this for petty emotions and greed
They let their ugly shine through
And in the process bruise you
With no intent to rebuild the walls they've broken
Or mend the damage from words spoken
Still through struggle we grow strong
Even without our MOM.
