Mother

Being such an admirable young boy My existence was especially good Benefiting from my loving parents As any normal, typical boy would Today I feel so wonderfully secure And can identify just what’s real Knowing that nurturing is praised Sincerely positive about how I feel Fully convinced I’m a fortunate son That my mother was as strong as steel Convinced that she had a special talent For it was she who fed me my first meal Put me through school and into college Encouraged me to continue being faithful Made me a man of honor and knowledge Competent enough to handle life’s extremes And when I think back on my best days All the congratulations and ovations There is no doubt that hard work pays And I thank my mother for all she’s done.

Thank you Heidi. I've had a great relationship with my mom who just turned 88.
