One Mom We Shouldn't Forget Poem by Jim Yerman

She gives us life…she loves us…despite our numerous mistakes…
It's how we learn about love…by watching every move she makes.

She is beautiful in our eyes, she is patient, giving…kind
and from the moment of our births…our lives are intertwined.

Her love is immediate and eternal we perceive it everywhere
It's rooted in our bones, our hearts…we can feel it in the air.

Her greatest joy is seeing ours…one smile is all it takes
and she is many times defined…by the sacrifices that she makes.

She is irreplaceable…there is something so beautiful…
so wonderful about her
and along the way we realize we cannot live without her.

We may grow up up and go away…but there will come a day when
we find our way back to her and fall in love again.

It is then we realize everything she's done…
we're grateful, appreciative and thus
we want to take great care with her…
the way she cares for us.

Yes, she is vitally important to us…
from the moment of our birth…
she gives us life,
she helps us breathe…
she is our mother…
Earth.
