Ode to Mother Matters

Ode to Mother Matters

I love you mother me

a mother to one son

and a dead born baby

I love you mother of me

now a grandmother

and mother whose daughter died one day

I love you mother of three

billions of lives before me

I love you mothers of mad-men

mothers of good baby boys

and baby girls who cry for mother’s milk

I love you mothers who tried

for babies that died

the mothers that others don’t see as mothers

I love you mothers who wanted to be moms

but something wasn’t quite right

and you never had that delight

I love you mothers who didn’t want your babies

and gave them back to god and to other mothers

waiting stand by

I love you mothers who put your eggs in her belly

or put her eggs in your belly

I love you mothers that decided you would never have a child

because taking care of you was all a mother could do

I love you bad mothers, mean mothers, and bum mothers too

sometimes it sucks, that feeling I know

being you

I love you all mothers

you matter to me
