Being a mom’s not a job, it’s more like a mission
For some it’s an accident, for some a decision
Whatever the reason, the reason it’s rough
Is that you never believe you are doing enough
For these kids who at first need your help every day
But eventually don’t want you to get in their way
Then they become self-sufficient outside of your nest
Pat yourself on the back, hey you passed the test!
But it doesn’t feel finished, your love still flows
And you wait for a call, yeah that’s how it goes
So for all of you kids, yeah I’m talking to you
I have a suggestion for a great thing to do
Call her on Mother’s day and then set a reminder
To call her again next week because you will find her
Surprised in the most pleasant and wonderful way
Just talk to her even if there’s not much to say
You may be self-sufficient as a daughter or son
But to a mother her mission is never done
