We honor our mothers

Today, we honor the women that introduced us to the taco
That were the first to warm a tortilla and put beans inside
And pull back the film on a Kraft single
Fold and cut it diagonally
And stick it on top of the steaming beans

Today we honor the women that showed us
That all you need is butter
To enjoy a fresh flour tortilla

Today we honor the women that cooked for us
After coming home from a long day at work

Today we honor the women that knew exactly what we needed
Even if we were unaware

Today we honor the women that checked in on us
As we coughed and sneezed
In the days before hand sanitizer

Today we honor the women that still care for us

Today we honor the women with a tinge of guilt
Because we should really honor them everyday

Today we honor our mothers
And we can never thank them enough
