My Time To Shine

Running barefoot through the open field No worries, enjoying what the day will yield Free spirit, given free reign to roam the town Sun up to sun down, laughter all around Dreading Mom's dinner bell, such a sad sound Knowing the day was over and we had to settle down Mom was a special lady, such compassion and care Whenever something was wrong, she was always there She was a mother, doctor, taxi, chef, she deserves applause Looking back, I didn't realize how good it really was Nurturing us from the time we were so were small Just kids, wild and carefree, Mom took care of it all The times have changed, we are off on our own No longer able to do life's daily chores all alone Mom needs nuturing as she is now on the decline Time to give a helping hand, time to shine
