She treated them with an open mind, <br />She has endeavoured to give them a sense of individuality. <br />Sometimes she wonders why she even tried. <br />Who would a mother be? <br /> <br />Her mother toiled and strived <br />To raise five strapping children. <br />And now as she reaches her quiet years, <br />She wonders why! <br />Why she has been a mother? <br /> <br />You spend your time being bus driver, <br />Psychiatrist and Gourmet Cook. <br />Trying to balance a love of a man <br />With a love that comes of mother. <br />Who would a mother be?<br /><br />Alison Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-would-a-mother-be/
