Richard Lamoureux Poet Couplet

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.
