Poem
I smile as I remember the holidays past The table full The smells are wonderful You are in total control Like a little general you command your kitchen And all who dare to enter I love you mom I smile now for another Thanksgiving The table full The smells are wonderful But the general fights to hold on to some control I love you mom The eyes question You make yourself busy You need to feel needed I love you mom You question many times what you are supposed to cook And I smile when I get there and you cooked the same as I You tire quickly but tough as they come you work diligently Until all is done I love you mom We’re a little too fast A little too loud Your conversations have fallen quiet But having all of us around you I can read in your face is what puts you at ease It gives much peace I love you mom Did you have a good Thanksgiving Others will ask It was spent with my mom So I was blessed I love you mom God make me the daughter That my mom now needs The daughter becomes the parent And now takes the lead I love you mom You ask the same question Over and over and frustrated You figure it out and get upset I touch your cheek And say the same thing I always say That always sounds brand new to you Mom you can forget everything else But just remember I’m your favorite The smile in your eyes, The smile on your face The laughter it brings It works every time I love you mom dedicated to Nell Young Wise with many, many tears
