Happy Mother's Day!

"Although you're not their mother,
you care for them every day.

You cuddle, sing, and read to them,
and watch them as they play.

You see each new accomplishment,
you help them grow and learn,

You understand their language,
and you listen with concern.

They come to you for comfort,
and you kiss away their tears,

They proudly show their work to you,
you give the loudest cheers!

No, you are not their mother,
but your role is just as strong,

You nurture them and keep them safe,
though maybe not for long.

You know someday the time may come,
when you will have to part,

But you know each child you cared for
is forever in your heart!"
