I Love Mommy Because

Mommy loves me more than laundry More than dirty dishes too She’d rather spend her time with me Than doing things others do She would rather play with me Than take a nap or sew I love Mommy ‘cause she loves me More than any TV show She’s always there to pick me up And love away my tears. She prays to Jesus every night To keep me from my fears She gobbles like a turkey And loves to dance around I always smile; always laugh She’s better than a clown She’d rather eat her food all cold So she can feed me “HUM”, and Then wipe my face and clean the Walls and floor of food I’ve flung Mommy makes the greatest faces When I do something she likes But, saves the best for when she finds She’ll need the baby wipes She mostly talks like grownups do But tries to talk like me She hasn't mastered yet just how To speak in baby-ese. If there’s just one thing I could say To Mommy when I’m grown… “Thank you for who you are And the love you’ve always shown.”
