TO MY MOM ON MOTHER’S DAY 2002
Feeding Time!
But more than food you gave
Closeness and love you saw I craved
As I pinched your hair...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Bleeding Time!
But more than a band-aid you had
“That silly bee,” you saw I was sad
As I sat in the hall...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Shoe Time!
You watched me tie, on the first try
You watched me switch, a bit dyslexic
All the while I sang...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Story Time!
Major exaggeration, you had compassion
“Tell me when it’s fake, but go on and create.”
As my imagination grew...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Drama Time!
After every play, you gave much praise
Noticing God made, helped as you raised
So I proclaimed...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Paper Time!
After you typed for me all night
I got car sick on a rout, what a sight!
I sat in awe...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Laughter Time!
It would come without warning, so very frail
Dashing to the other room, leaving a trail
On the ground in hysterics...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Driving Time!
Friends with the road, there’s always a mode
“It matters to me, I want to come see.”
Feeling so special...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Giving Time!
You can never resist a daughter's plea
“Take this, take that, take all you see!”
Grateful in every way...
“I’m sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God gave me the best!”
Lasting Time!
Everyday I wake up and Pray...
“Thank you Lord for mom
builder her up as she goes along
remind her of who she is
and the gift she is to her kids
No one can take her place
Nothing compares to that face
I’m just sorry for all the rest,
Cuz God... you gave me the best!”
Happy Mother’s Day!
