Motherhood

Motherhood takes...
The strength of Samson...
The wisdom of Solomon...
The patience of Job...
The faith of Abraham...
The insight of Daniel...
The courage of David...

Being a mother takes a lot of bother
You have to be everything to others
You have to be a carer for your young
You have to be stronger for longer
You have to have wisdom to combat anger
You have to be patient for so very long
You have to have faith that all will get along
You have to have eyes in the back of your head
You have to keep looking up and ahead
You have to get very little sleep and keep
Going day in and day out...never shout...
Ah it truly takes the patience of the saints
To keep on going forever without complaint
You have to be a psychologist it's true
For you have to understand everything
You have to know everything about everything
You have to learn how to sing and dance
You have to give everyone an equal chance
You have to know things at a single glance
You have to forget about romance
You have to live and take a chance...many times
You have to be available at all crazy hours
You have to be everything to everyone
And even then you're still not done
You have to have the ability to think on the run
You have to have an innate capacity for fun
You know God couldn't be everywhere
So he made mothers to take up their full share
He knows mothers love, nurture and care
Ah Yes it's true...mothers have to be everything...
Yes they have to be that loving mother...everywhere!
