A Mother’s Tears
Our love for you is endless
The tears that a mother sheds cannot be measured
You are a part of us from the very day we know you exist in our soul
We cry when you are born
We cry from the pain and from the joy
We cry the first time you fall
because we feel we are to blame
We cry when you go to school that first day
We cry if someone hurts you
We cry when we feel we are failing
and we feel that we fail often
We cry when you cry
We cry every time you graduate to the next level
We cry when you win medals
and when you don’t
We cry when you find a place to live that’s no longer under the same roof with us
We cry when you find a partner
and start your own life
We cry when you have babies
We cry if you can’t
We cry when life hits you too hard for us to intervene
We cry for your injustices
because we can’t help you
We cry when you no longer want us to
A mother’s tears are immeasurable because they never ever stop
