Mothers

Teacher of manners
Healer of knees
Catcher of broken hearts
Finder of keys
Helper with homework
Wiper of sneeze
Mums do the lot
With what seems like ease

She says, smiling, "YOU HAD ME AT HEALER!" Short, sweet, but not overly gushy/mushy and just a sigh-inducer. In fact, I kinda needed to read this tonight- whatta week. Thanks for sharing this, Nick. And thanks for your lovely comment on my poem. YOU would make a mother proud. From a mom :-)
