Only A Mother

Only a mother would drive all night,
So her children might have some fun.
Only a mother would stave off fright,
And allow her children to run.

Only a mother will hide her tears,
As her children continue to grow.
Only a mother will face her fears,
As her children press to let go.

Only a mother would wave good-bye,
As her children fly from the nest.
Only a mother can happily cry,
As her children were given the best.
