This beautiful poem is making mums everywhere cry

Being a mum is in equal measure the hardest, yet most gratifying and amazing job ever. But unlike any other job, there are very few pats on the back for being great at it. Nobody to provide a promotion or a pay rise, and for the large part, the majority of the (sometimes really hard) work Mums do will go pretty much unnoticed. And while they say that motherhood pays in love, not notes and coins, sometimes Mums need to be told they are doing a good job. Which is probably why this beautiful poem by blogger Abi (Likeareallifeblog.com) has gone viral the last few days and have touched the hearts of so many mamas all over the world:

Nobody saw you, nobody at all at 3am when they woke again. Nobody saw you picking up the peas, wiping up the beans, emptying the laundry basket, taking out the bins again and again. Nobody saw the crust of toast that fell out of your bra when you got undressed at night, such a glamorous life being mum.
