A Mother's Day poem 2001

A MOM is a friend
from now 'til the end
so glad she made room
for me in her womb

she fed me and dressed me
and never distressed me
she wiped food off my chin
and at night tucked me in

and there were no better deals 
than her great home-cooked meals
a fancy restaurant?...OH FOOEY!!!
I'll take Mom's American Chop Suey!

she'd wake me for school
her singing was cool
and if I ever felt sick
she'd cure me darn quick!

well over the years
I suppose I've caused tears
but what I really long after
are her giggles and laughter

she puts up with Dad
(No Really...he's the best one I've had!)
still laughs at his jokes
explains him to other folks

so as a Mother's Day gift
I'll follow her thrift
and mail her this rhyme
without spending a dime

I'll paint her some flowers
in just a few hours
and love her forever
tho' I can't repay her ever

MY MOM is a friend
from now 'til the end
so glad she made room
for me in her womb
