One Day Martha Topping
One day a year That ' s all you get 24hrs of appreciation .
For all that you do And all that you say One day is all the time that people learn to realize You ’ re there .
You do so much And receive so little Yet only one day Is all you get .
When passed in the streets Your child is noticed But you are ignored For the beauty you ’ ve created
This is my message To mother ’ s every where One day a year is not enough Appreciation is what you most deserve
