The Motion and Mom

Remembering my mother today Some of the things she used to say Many of the caring gifts she gave Some of the humor I thought just hers One item that she said stuck with me Was the day she was stirring frosting And her whole body was in motion Well at least several chubbie parts My brother got to laughing at her She gave him__ the look__ over glasses And she said, "Well no one can cook good If they don't have the correct motion." Since that day I heard Justin Wilson On his great cooking TV show say "One cannot cook unless they have it__ You know interesting cooking motion." This is just one memory of Mom Many pass through the channels of mind Blood is thicker than water so said Mom adopted me__not blood__just love
