Poems For Mothers · September 25, 2026

Mothers

( a poem for what really matters )

I will never say
I wish I’d worked harder
When all I had to do was hold you

I will never say
I was too bored or too tired
When all I have in fact, is you

I will always, always say
I love you
Because that’s what mothers do

Sophie
