    A Real Mother


    It takes more than giving birth
    To call yourself a mother
    Because if there’s one thing I know
    That child’s needs comes before any other
    You call yourself a mother
    When in fact that’s far from true
    Because a real mother knows
    Exactly what she must do
    A real mother is always there
    And she hears her baby cry
    And when he’s sick and in pain
    She would never leave his side
    She would hold him in her arms
    And wipe away his tears
    But instead I was the one
    Who gave him that care
    You have the nerve to wonder
    Why we share such a special bond
    Could it simply be because
    I was the one he could count on
    Although he’s just a baby
    He’s smarter than you could know
    Because his instincts told him
    I’d never let him go.
    You say you love him
    But I’m still yet to see
    You won’t even take him to the dr.
    Once again that’s left to me.
    I’d give my life for this baby
    And he’s not even my son
    So can someone please tell me
    What’s left to be done.
    I know God will make a move
    Whenever he feels the time is right
    But I will not give up the faith
    Not without a fight
    It takes more than giving birth
    To call yourself a mother
    Just take it from me
    Your child’s needs come before any other!!

    Very nice write infused with some strong emotion, well done.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
