Happy Mother's Day, Moms
It's raining like dog gone it outside
I can just see all the mothers say "oh dear"
Happy Mother's Day Moms
You all have done such a great job
rearing your youngs through eighteen
and sometimes even longer
Always willing to lend an ear
and so ready with advice
God didn't give you a book
when He sent us your way
Yet you are able to wing it
And wing it you did
You rear up your youngs according to the way
you think you should
We turn out just
FINE
young and dandy
pompous, forgetful
conceited - yet you love us
We turn out
DECENT
because of you
You give us qualities, traits
that are now part of us
What do you need now?
But to hear from you
You never need anything
ask anything of us
except to love you AND to listen
Haha you got that
Even when we appear not listening
our other ears are perked up
- our inner ears
Yes we are so intuned of what you say
that far after it has been said
we can still hear it
Yes we love you, Mothers
And today we salute you
for getting the troop in gear
for feeding and clothing us
for giving us patience and a willingness to care
for instilling in us what are now inside of us
And that is patience and kind
Virtues that you are the champion of
Happy Mother's Day, MOMS
