A lot of us need to take time out to appreciate those who raised us...

Every so often,
A child is born,
A mother is filled with joy.

Every so often,
A child leaves home,
A mother feels alone.

Every so often,
A child becomes a man,
A mother feels such pride.

Every so often,
A man finds love,
A mother shares the joy.

Every so often,
A man knows,
A mother is always there.

Every so often,
A mother dies,
She is no more.

Every so often,
When it’s much too late,
A man realizes the source of his lifes’ worth.
