Mom

Hair so perfect, is not so trite
Gorgeous bodice it fits just right
Cosmetic done without a flaw
Shoes plus jewels to match it all

Kind expressions always shown
Softened heart will not condone
Loving words so gently spoken
Forgiving hands will be unbroken

Tender laugh so full of jolly
Funny jokes all filled with folly
Sometimes sorrow you hide so well
Maybe someday you’ll foretell

What should we give?
It came with tears
The gift to give you
Seeming so clear.

We both know we hardly say
I’ll love you mom every single day.
