Mom Don'T Read This One Title To Follow

The youngest seventy five year old, that I've ever known Because of your happy, you will never be alone Whether you're playing card games, or out on the dance floor You make the place happy, when you walk though the door Perhaps a bit silly, but with me that is okay Let others be serious, I much prefer play Life shouldn't be wasted, I know that's what you think You enjoy every moment and you don't need to drink So here is to living, you are an example to all You'll never be a flower, that blends into a wall Yes forever young, I will try to live life your way Good times or bad times, I'll make the best of each day Written for my mom for my upcoming visit home. You are terrific mom, and if you are reading this "bad mommy" You didn't follow instructions. See you later, love Rick.

Richard, so lovely and sweet, can feel the love for your mom so strongly in this wonderful tribute, you are both blessed! Telling her not to read made her want to read it even more, lol. Hugs

Always a beauty when the write is full of love and sincerity, Rick. The subject is even lovelier and your reason for writing this...simply the best. PS. You meant "through" in L4, right? Just returning the favor you do for me with my writes, which I really appreciate. Enjoy your visit with Mama Bear and give my love. Will visit her page later.
