Most Influential Person in History

Another poem I wrote for my Intro. to Creative Writing class. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Enjoy ;)

Who deserves to be ranked #1
of the most influential person in history?
Would you give the title to Einstein, your daughter or son?
I promise, it's really not a mystery!

Before the great men and women in time

are given credit or praise,
Mothers should be first in line,
For these individuals they raised.

We all recognize the respect our mothers deserve,

And would even fight others to defend them,
But then where do we get the nerve,
To ignore, hurt, or even curse at some?

For all the pain and sacrifices they went through,
The time and effort they put in,
Raising, teaching, and taking care of you,
Disobeying them in good is a great sin. (1)

You love her home cooked meals, comfort, and advice,

There is almost nothing she wouldn’t do for you,
The least you could do is be helpful and nice,
For the countless things she continues to do.

Mothers deserve the best for these reasons and many others,

You will never be able to pay her back for all she has done,
It's been said, "No matter what a man does, he will never be able to have the status of a mother,"
And that's why she is #1!

(1) In Islam, when parents advise something good according to God, we should try our best to do so. Likewise, when they tell us something that we shouldn't do because God said so, it is not a sine to not listen to them.
