To Mom

Mom’s are the best and there are a million reasons why,

First and foremost she gave you life, while Dad just stood by

She made sure you were fed and changed your poopy bum,

Said you were brilliant when you did something dumb,

Held your hand the first time you ever crossed a road,

Rubbed stinky stuff on your chest when you had a cold,

She laughed herself silly when you told a joke,

Loved the ashtray you made her, even though she didn’t smoke,

Gave you a zillion goodnight kisses on your little head

After a zillion bed time stories that she lovingly read

She never flinched at the sight of you with acne on your face

She was a one man standing ovation even if you lost the race

Putting up with your loud music and the friends you chose

She’d spit on a Kleenex to clean your face and nose

Made you a million meals and danced to your silly songs

She made you eat your broccoli so you’d grow big and strong

She gave you the food off her plate if you still wanted more

And made you take your shoes off when you got inside the door

She did everything you needed with diligence and care

Right down to making sure you always put on clean underwear

So one day a year we pay tribute to our Mom on Mother’s Day

Thank you and I love you, now….can I go outside and play !!

Happy Mother's Day

Until We Type Again, Take It Ease !
