A Mother's Poem

an eternity of wait
and you held on and stayed
strong till this very date
through the pain, misery 
and anguish, through the
torment and suffering
you stayed strong and
held on
finally my birth date
you gave me this world
all i had to do was grab it
with open arms
cause of you mother i am here
and though none i do can
match what you did for me
i can show you i appreciated
your sacrifices
