Happy Mother's Day

It is on this day that I must admire Thinking back to the days when your “tough love” seemed to never tire And the thought of a shoe still sends chills up and down my spine Oh wonderful woman, this mother of mine With footwear in hand and compelling suggestions to see your way It is not difficult to understand the knowledge of life that I have today But to only remember the fear of these two One, the Good Lord Almighty and the other “the shoe” Remembering well all of the stories I told Then fearfully watching your wrath unfold The punishment of “the shoe” was well deserved And how your abundant love was well reserved Remembering all of our “one-sided discussions” Some resulting at the cost of a mild concussion Dear mother, it is with confidence I can say The love of my mother I would never change in any way My mother dearest filled with love galore It is the love you have for all I do adore For it is the Fear of God and the Love of The Lord I remember most And on this day it is my dearest mother I do boast
