This is the Woman!


This is the woman
Who gave me life although it risked her own

This is the woman
Who held my hand, and now calls on the phone

This is the woman
Who played the keys while I sang Disney songs

This is the woman
Who bought us things from Albertson's and Long's

This is the woman
Who spent her time and money on gymnastics

This is the woman
Who sewed me pants with waistbands of elastic

This is the woman
Who praised me for the talents that I had

This is the woman
Dearly loved by someone I call "Dad"

This is the woman
You will find at every corner yard sale

This is the woman
Who often knows conpiracies in detail

This is the woman
Who sent me to my room when I was wild

This is the woman
Who now sends birthday cards to each grandchild

This is the woman
Dearer to my heart than any other

This is the woman
I am blessed to lovingly call "Mother"

Cindy, just read all your most recent posts...I'm not so good at keeping up these days. May NEEDS to be over! Too too busy. I'm sure you would know. So many fun things to read about and your poem was so sweet and funny all at the same time. (Conspiracies and garage sales...so true!) She has a heart of gold, your mom. Lucky to have such a beautiful woman to call Mother.
