[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => My intellect may be fading, as the years so quickly pass
And many other women may not hold me in their class
I may not know the reasons for all the torment and the strife
But still I have so much more,more than most do in their life
I may not know the answers,not so nearly many as some
All I know is that my whole life,I have been a Mum
In a world that has revolved,around the breath of five
Without them I'd be lost,they're the reason I'm alive
From the time of their conception,all through each pregnancy
I have always tried my best,to be the best Mum I could be
Then when I held them in my arms,snuggled to my breast
I knew there'd be no reason, I could ever love them less
I've known the painful heartache of when they've lost a race
I've kissed away the tears that at times fell on their face
I've always found the words,when they needed to hear my say
I've always been a Mum,and that's how I want to stay
I don't know why I fall in love and then end up so hurt
But I know how to sew a button back on my son's school shirt
I'm not sure why the decisions I make,never quite turn out
But I know each of my kids,and what they're all about
When it comes to me and my life,I'm as hopeless as they come
'Cause all I really know about,is how to be a Mum
Give me a wee baby,I can comfort her to sleep
And my teens they both know,a secret I will keep
I can walk the floor for nights,without sleep I still go on
I will hold and comfort babies,till all their pain is gone
I know all the latest cartoons and every song on ABC
Sesame Street,Playschool,and more,are all a part of me
I've been known to fingerpaint,while visitors sip tea
They're happy to be watching their kids have fun with me
I'm a nurse and a psychologist,a cleaner and a vet
I can also fix the plumbing and tune in the tv set
Im a gardener,a cook,a teacher of all grades
I'm on call 24 hours, as a loving live in maid
I can nag and be embarassing,though not as bad as some
But all of this is required,if I'm to be a Mum
Ive spent half my life now,caring for five kids
I could never be anything else,when all I know is this
So how could you be so determined,to take it all away
When I'm the one who holds their hands,each and every day
I tend to their heartaches,I mop up their mess
I'm the one who deals with all their problems and the stress
I sign all the notes for school,I listen to the whines
I check over their homework,while you're in bed at nine
I go to the school,when something has gone wrong
I make sure I always know the latest hippest song
I know I haven't always done whats best for me
But never have they suffered for my insanity
Without them,I'd not breathe and no longer want to live
And to have them with me always,there's nothing I wouldn't give
Please don't take them away,when I've done nothing wrong
Just because you're bitter that our relationship has gone
You just want to hurt me,but in the end you're gonna see
That it will be the kids who suffer,so much more than me
As much as I am pleading for you to have a change of heart
Never think that I won't fight you,from my kids I'll not depart
You say I'm a bad mother,and that they'd be better off with you
And this from an alcoholic,drunk all the years through
I don't know how I'll get through this if you take the kids away
But all I know is that Im their Mum,and thats how Im gonna stay

I'm always faced with wonder
what you write, can it be true?
That a man can be so horrid
with a woman-mum like you?
I've often had the feeling
if divorce were in the cards,
Would I be a bloomin' bounder
and lower all my guards?
When kids are there, a mum's a mum,
and nil is more important,
A bum who'd take the kids away,
is lacking in deportment.
I cannot help, I wish I could
You have my vote of action,
If you want to run for president
I'd send in Andrew Jackson

You are wonderful a real heroine, it just amazes me what people will do to hurt someone. Or how many they will hurt to accomplish that. Stand your ground.

| This is such a great poem so full of emotion and pride as well as pain. You fight for your kids and when you get them hold on with everything you have. |

Hey I have five children too! You're right, you need to fight for them. They are my sanity as insane as that sounds, but they are what brigs me down to earth sometimes. You remind me of the woman who raised my children with me. You are beautiful. I would fingerpaint with you while the others drink tea. I will fight with words for you.
