Dear Mom
~*~*~*~
You Were There When We Took Our First Steps
And Went Unsteadily Across The Floor
But You Pushed And Prodded: Encouraged And Guided
Until Our Steps Took Us Out The Door...
You Worry Now "Are They Ok?"
Is There More You Could Have Done?
As We Walk The Paths Of Our Unknown
You Wonder"Where Have My Children Gone?"
Where We Are Is Where You Have Led Us
With Your Special Love You Showed Us A Way
To Believe In Ourselves And The Decisions We Make
Taking On The Challenge Of Life Day To Day
And Where We Go You Can Be Sure
In Spirit You Shall Never Be Alone
For Where You Are Is What Matters Most To Us
Because To Us That Will Always Be Home...
Happy Mothers Day
ODE to MOTHER'S DAY
When I'm a little old lady
Then I'll live with my children
and bring them great joy.
To repay all I've had
from each girl and boy.
I shall draw on the walls
and scuff up the floor;
Run in and out
without closing the door.
I'll hide frogs in the pantry,
socks under my bed.
Whenever they scold me,
I'll hang my head.
I'll run and I'll romp,
always fritter away
The time to be spent
doing chores every day.
I'll pester my children
when they are on the phone.
As long as they're busy
I won't leave them alone.
Hide candy in closets,
rocks in a drawer,
And never pick up my clothes
from the floor.
Dash off to the movies
and not wash a dish.
I'll plead for allowance
whenever I wish.
I'll stuff up the plumbing
and deluge the floor.
As soon as they've mopped it,
I'll flood it some more.
When they correct me,
I'll lie down and cry,
Kicking and screaming,
not a tear in my eye.
I'll take all their pencils
and flashlights, and then
When they buy new ones,
I'll take them again.
I'll spill glasses of milk
to complete every meal,
Eat my banana and
just drop the peel.
Put toys on the table,
spill jam on the floor,
I'll break lots of dishes
as though I were four.
What fun I shall have,
what joy it will be to
Live with my children....
the way they lived with me!
