Super-Mom

"Mommy!" she cried in a language of her own
when the sounds outside of a womb were strange and unknown
and the woman she cried for held her with love,
close to her heart, giving thanks above.

"Mommy!" she cried when she awoke at night
to the darkness and stillness that instantly brought fright
and it seems her language was finally understood
cause the woman she wanted, was cradling her as lovingly as she could.

"Mommy!" she cried when her first teeth began to intrude
when the pain was something she didn't want to bear alone
by now the woman knew her every whimper and cry
knew when she was happy and knew every sorrowful moan.

"Mommy!" she exclaimed, as her first coherent word
and the woman in question was the first one who heard.
tears of joy ran down her cheeks
as her lips caressed her precious baby girl

"Mommy!" she cried when the bruise on her knee burnt
suddenly, running behind the pet dog seemed like an idea-absurd
but the pain seemed to disappear as soon as it hit
because mommy covered the band-aid with a kiss

"Mommy!" she squealed when she aced her class test
running into the house, and into her moms embrace
nothing could compare to the happiness in her eyes
nothing could compare to the proud smile on her face

"Mommy!" she said when she fell in love the first time
her heart feeling things she couldn't explain
but only mommy understood and only mommy could see
just how crazy in love her little girl could be.

"Mommy!" she yelled  when she needed her space
when mommy's over protective heart wouldn't let her have her fun
"I'm old enough to make my own decisions" she said
and mommy nodded, smiled sadly, and went to bed.

"Mommy!"she cried when she returned home one night
sobbing and whimpering from the pain of a tattered heart
"he was never worth your time" Mommy said with a kiss on the head
"he never deserved your perfect heart" as she put her to bed..

"Mommy!" she said sweetly when she tied the knot
with a man who her mom had predicted,was worth a shot
"I'll miss you" she said with a parting embrace
while she miserably tried to hide the tears from her face

"Mommy!"she said with joy, over the phone
when she found out she was having a baby of her own
"I hope she's just like you", Mommy said with a laugh
"at least then you'll know what I went through"

"Mommy" she whispered when she held a baby boy in her hands
calling her mommy closer to see
the little bundle of perfection that lay in her arms
was the cutest little infant that could ever be.

"Mommy" she called out one night
when she came home after a fight
holding her two year old close to her
she sought out her mothers advice

"Mommy" she said in a panicked tone one day
"he's down with the flu and I don't know what to do"
and the mother with more years of experience on her
guided her through with the cure for a flu

"Mommy." she said as she greeted her with a hug
It was his 5th birthday, and she gifted the little boy a pug
"you didn't have to" she said to her mom with a smile
"he's my grandson, and I'm afraid I'm only here for a while."

"Mommy!" she cried bitterly as she fell to her knees
on a dark Friday evening that did nothing to please
her tears fell over the tombstone slab
washing over the name of the mother she once had.
