Full of love and lots of hope,
in any case she'll help you cope.
When you're 3 she answers your every "why?"
When you're 6 she wipes the tears when you cry.
Full of love and lots of hugs,
she tucks you in, all nice and snug.
When you're ten she buys you that new purse.
When you're 13 she corrects you when you curse.
Full of love and lots of grace,
she knows how to put a smile on your face.
When you are 16 she buys you a car.
When you are 19 those days are so far,
when you were crying for mama and begged for a toy.
But now six years later she holds your little boy.
Mothers are loving, and gruceful, and true,
and don't soon forget that they'll always love you.

Very sweet. Thanks so much for entering my contest and for honoring me with a show of your work.

This made me smile (and laugh in the middle about the cursing) So sweet and pleasant. Nicely done.

what is the next to last line? It's hard to read because of the color ... it looks to me like "mothers are loving and gruceful and true. What is gruceful?

uhm, well if you're 14, then you should really apply for sister, cousin, or best friend. sorry. but i really love the poem and i'll keep it in the contest. if you want to be in the family, you can enter another poem in the contest. but you still have a chance of winning
