Mom

Back in my mind a vision I see Of the loving person who took care of me When I would fall and scrape my knee Her hugs would make the booboo's flee There was a time I scrapped my arm I screamed and yelled like a fire alarm But who was there to rub on the balm The person I lovingly called, my Mom For the longest time I didn't know her name But rest assured if I yelled Mom, there she came She didn't seem to be ruled by a clock And always had time to pick up a sock She would always calm me in the midst of a storm She smelled so good and was always so warm She loved to laugh but she also cried I remember it happened, when my puppy dog died A printed dress that was always so worn Smiling brightly she'd wake me each breaking morn Her breakfasts were yummy and tasty and warm Her apron was part of Mom's dress uniform When I started to grow and would go out to play Mom would be there watching throughout the day At noon she would call me which was always so sweet Come in little darling, it's soon time to eat Peanut butter and jelly was the noon time treat I'd be tired from playing but had time to eat Then she'd put me down on the couch to sleep And cover me up from my had to my feet My Mom isn't home, she was called away To a new home in heaven where she's living today I'm sure she's at peace in her home up above And showering other children with her motherly love!
