 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

A MOTHER TO A MAN


There is a girl that's not my mum
But let's face facts it's true~
She is doing all a mother does
She's there all the time right through~
They say to some extent it's so
That when a woman weds a man~
She in fact adopts another child
Only higher does he stand~
Doing all that she'd do for a child
With extras many and gallore~
She is simply on duty all the time
With all her love and care and more~
More duties than in any job
Performing all and every single day~
Nothing is too much trouble for her
A mother to a man in every way~
I know that I myself would not survive
If this girl she was not mine~
To me she's more than a mother
How much I adore her ongoing love divine~
And when there comes yet another mothers day
And like all married men I too have one~
I shall show unending appreciation and love
As I've tried to do since the day that we begun~
