Although I can't be with you,
my thoughts are there today,
I made this special page for you,
on this your special day.

I've been thinking of the things you did
When I was only young
The picnics on the clothes-line bench,
The dress up time and fun.

And then there were the long car rides,
Made more bearable by you,
With lots of silly songs to sing
And games played, thanks to you!

Your hands were always busy
Learning somthing new,
And everything you learned to do
You shared, and we learned too.

Our house was always filled with fun,
Good friends, and good food, too,
Because of the best cook in the land,
Everyone knows that's you!

So, on this very special day
I've chosen this special way to say
Although we're many miles apart,
You're always close within my heart.

I love you, Mom!

Made especially for you,
