Beauty-My Mother-Suprise

Expectedly it came and she knew it Those sleepless and there were many of those The rareness of bonding session with her ,my mother The multitasking of motherhood The goal had to be achieved at all cost The determination that was displayed The support that was given for a remarkable woman The days, months ,years of hard work finally paid off The honouring of a family name And she had done exactly that We had planned it well to the last detail So many things to do and so little time It was a surprise all right My big sister Ruth had to come down from Cape Town Who else was going to execute this plan, if she is not here And besides it was her speciality We had to thread carefully, no loop holes were allowed To be discreet was the middle word To be thankful was part of her nature, my mother And she deserved exactly that The creativity was in the atmosphere As the decorations were awesome Yeah, it was no child play The smell from the kitchen, made the mouth watering Left the tummy to make funny noises The ladies had done a great job Yep, the champagne and the wine, all the goodies The weather was just a blessing And the outfit was a show stopper Yep, the guests were amazing In their academic wear, I tell you Yes, the family had arrived In their best behaviour, hilarious was the norm for the day Her close friends, Whom she had walked with on this journey Her mother, she was just speechless Her only husband, he was just too proud of her And we all knew that She will be thankful THANKSGIVING MEMORY POERTY CONTEST SPONSORED BY REGINA RIDDLE
