Mothers day riddle

RIDDLE ME THIS...Mothers Day is coming,It is so very near. I have five daughters and a Son waiting, who are so very dear.A surprise they will receive, but not what they believe. I took sixteen to make this be, a monument to them from me.Oceans wide and oceans deep, can change a heart to very meek.I have been blessed so very much, but I do miss telling them kids to hush.A door way opened and I stepped in,as a matriarch would do, to protect her kin. The only message I have to convey, is what kind of Mom my children made of me. NOT WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE I MADE OF MY CHILDREN.
