The cipher used is called a Caesar cipher. The cipher is a shift in letters of the alphabet by a number (the key)
The key used for this question was the number 3. Therefore:
Normal: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
Cipher: XYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW
You guys seem to be good at these. I must increase the difficulty!
The cipher was a Rail Fence cipher with the key of 2 so it is made of 2 rails like so:
W..A..I..T..E..I..L..O..T..E..N..M..W..I..H..Z..S..N..K..N..I..F..A..U..E
..H..T..S..H..T..T..E..F..H..A..I..E..H..C..A..U..A..A..A..O..S..E..T..R..D

This mother comes from a family of eight,
Supports her children in spite of their weight,
Turns around without being called,
Has held you since the time you crawled.
It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
Lies behind stars and under hills,
and empty holes it fills.
Comes first follows after,
Ends life kills laughter.
