Remembering you, Mom
Mom and Dad were reading in the den
Mom said, "I'm gonna go to bed, it's late."
She went to the kitchen to make three
School lunches another night in a mother's
day.
Put the cereal bowls out for breakfast,
Set the coffee maker for 6:00 am;
Sewed a loose button on brother's shirt for
him;
Checked sister's math homework, sent a note
to the teacher,
Added eggs to the grocery list;
Started a load of wash, made sure the doors
were locked,
Put water in the puppy's dish;
Wrote a check to the children's piano teacher,
Turned the dishwasher on;
And Dad called out, "Honey what's takin' you
so long?"
Have I ever thanked you for everything you've
done?
Now all that I can say is, "I love you Mom."
Hung some art on the refrigerator door and
Headed up the stairs;
Kissed all the children and helped Sister
comb her
Wavy golden hair.
Washed her make-up off and turned on the bath;
Laid down in the moon soft light
And kissed dad goodnight.
Have I ever thanked you for everything you've
done?
Now all that I can say is, "I love you Mom."
Thank you for nursing me through all those
colds and fevers;
Thank you for believin' in me when they were
no other believers.
And it's never too late to say, "I love you
Mom."
