If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Changing my diapers
And cleaning up poo
If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Making me laugh
Like a wild Kangaroo
If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Cooling my forehead
When I have the flu
If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Hanging up all of
The drawings I drew
If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Constantly buying
New clothes as I grew
If I were a mom
I’d be just like you
Teaching me all of the
Things that you knew
If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Picking me up when my
plans would fall through
If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Smiling so bright
When I said that “I do”
If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Coming to visit when
My first child was due
If I were a Mom
I’d be just like you
Even though early
You bid us adieu
But instead I’m a Dad
and I know through and through
I’m doing these things
For my own children too
I learned from the best
There’s nothing more true
Wherever you are
I will always love you!
Happy Mother’s Day to all!
Beautiful …. not a fan of mothers day or any other commercial day – but I love your poem here.
Not really a fan of commercial holidays either…
Wonderful poem! You had me at “changing diapers and cleaning up poo”. LOL!
That was a good line, wasn’t it? 🙂
Love your dad perspective – parenting skills are not the domain of moms alone. Thank goodness!
Not in this day and age. In fact, one of my pet peeves is how men are still portrayed as bumbling fools when it comes to parenting. A good Mom definitely helps though!
Man, it feels good to be in the swing of things again & get started back to reading your awesome stuff. Gonna try to stick with it this time buddy. Thanks so much for staying in touch with me on my photography blog.
Happy Mother’s Day. A poem that touched the heart:) Fab job.
