Why I Love My MOM

By Dawn Reitz

I love her 'cause she's always there
to help me up when Life's not fair.

To kiss it better when it pains
and scrub away the dirty stains.

To make me laugh when I am mad
or comfort me when I am sad.

And even when I'm down and blue,
she’ll pick me up and push me through.

I love her 'cause she's always there,
to be my friend, to always care.

Never too busy to understand,
to love me, and to hold my hand.

To put all other things aside,
So that my needs won't be denied.

To tell me, "No," when it's not right.
To say, "Don't let the bed bugs bite.”

Mom, no one compares to you,
without your love, what would I do?

I love you more than words can say
and hope I’m just like you...Someday.
