When they were born, oh man what a Joy,

It was all I could do, to tear myself away

I loved them so much, with all I was,

 There are no words to describe how I felt

As they grew and time past

 So many joys and bumps along the way

But the love I had for them I did my best to heal their hurt

And bring them love, laughter, every day

Now they are getting older still

I see my babies growing up before my eyes

I’m no longer allowed to do their hair, or dress them,

They seem to be developing their own style

So many sacrifices but I don’t mind

For a mothers love knows no bounds

Now the pre-teen years have come, and they are slowly pulling away

No more kisses in the morning, no more long hugs goodbye

Now its “MOM stop everyone’s watching”,

And I feel my heart breaks a little inside.

So the teen years are here, the time I feared the most

When they think, “I know everything”,

” Mom you’re just getting OLD”

Man I feel so frustrated, sometimes I feel so lost,

Now I know how my mom felt, it sucks having to be the boss

So many sacrifices but I don’t mind

For a mothers love knows no bounds

How can I show them, teach them, help them learn from my mistakes

Don’t they see I been here already, and I just want to save them

My same pain and heart aches.

I always said growing up; I would never be like my mom,

And as that thought bounces around in my head

I hear myself say, those same damn words……………………………….

I’m the mom and I know best, I have been through all this before

Don’t talk back, don’t sass me child, and my favorite

“Because I said So”,

These are all words that we have heard. 

As a mother we sacrifice so much to give our children the best,

Most mothers myself included we give them our all

So why do they fight us tooth and nail,

It’s like banning our heads against a wall.

So many sacrifices but I don’t mind

For a mothers love knows no bounds

Now they are young adults treading on borrowed time

Doing things I don’t approve of risking their very lives

Why can’t they see the damage they are doing

See the pain they are causing,

Its frustrating sitting back feeling helpless,

I want to scream, instead I cry, for this battle I seem to be loosing

My hands are tied but I can’t let them be, for the love I have for them

So many sacrifices but I don’t mind

For a mothers love knows no bounds

I have been praying for years that they would finally see

How the path they have chosen take,

That they can turn it around choose another direction

Just go left, for heavens sake. 

So now they are grown and struggling so give and I give all I have

But even that don’t seem like enough, their ungrateful ass

They take and take it seems never ending

But I’m finally done, nothing left, my Love has ended.

They cut me deep their words they stung,

I just don’t get it, with ease they rolled off their toung

I hate you, I can’t stand you, and I’m leaving, and taking your grandson!

So many sacrifices but I never minded

For a mothers love knows no bounds

But some things you just can’t forgive

And for me this was the final straw,

 For me this was what it was!
