My body shows the telltale signs
That it has borne a child
But nobody calls me "Mommy"
My days are filled with homework, dinner and tuck-ins at bedtime
The kids give me hugs and tell me they love me
But nobody calls me "Mommy"
I pray to God that He keeps all my angels safe
I love them all more than life itself
But nobody calls me "Mommy"
I know who I am to each of the kids
I know they need me as much as I need them
But nobody calls me "Mommy"
So forgive me if I am not overjoyed
On the day of celebrating moms
Because even though I know my role
Nobody calls me "Mommy"
