MOTHERS: THIS TIME AND PROBABLY FOREVER. WHY?

They will get all the attention

They will definitely get all the attention

Why?

Because they have inbuilt houses

Which all beings are housed before entering earthly houses

Sharing their blood

And even their good flood

For a good nine moons

Without separate legs to bolt in the doom

Making them swoon

Even in pain

They anticipate an unmeasurable gain

So look down upon the pains

And sometimes gross disdain

From the fertiliser of eggs as their words slain

They nurse horrible wounds painfully

While being suckled and wobbled as pains flow tearfully

From their eyes

Covering the hurt, with a smiling dye

Faeces they wash

Crying they with love shush

Feeling every fall like the wounds in the belly

They laugh and shake like jelly

At adorableness and smiles of their wards

Thanking God for the giving of cute awards

They feel their hunger

Know their anger

And shine bright in their darkness

They feel their cold

And make them bold

And know they are expensive more than gold

They love them  in their fears

Correct them  with tears

Pray for light to be near

When the children sway

They are the only believers who say nay

To pessimists whose advice, when heeded to, is abandonment

They are who they are in their praise adornment

And have no challengers in their nations

There are exceptions in every situation

But the most have these features

Most dependent creatures.

So mothers had the most fans,

Have the most fans,

Will probably have the most fans

In times to come

They are proudly the mums.
