When You're the Mom

When you're the Mom, you turn invisible
But your children become the moon and stars,
When you're the Mom, no one bakes you a cake for your birthday

But you get sweet handmade cards colored with love,

When you're the Mom, most people forget to ask how you are

But you get to talk about your favorite little people,

When you're the Mom, it's only a party to you, when the spaghetti stain comes out of a shirt,

But everyone celebrates when junior poops on the pot!

When you're the Mom, wearing makeup becomes a budgeting issue,

But all the snuggly kisses would wipe it all off anyway.

When you're the Mom, sleeping is rare,

But you discover, a good night's sleep is better than any vacation.

When you're the Mom, sacrifice is a way of life,

But you realize how much Our Lord didn't deserve His sacrifice.

When you're the Mom, hearing, "thank you" is usually forgotten,

But it makes you appreciate your Mother.
