Mother's Day 2012


I know this is late, but I am catching up these days, so forgive me for the belatedness!  :-)

As corny as it is, My Mom still likes this kind of stuff and gets all teary-eyed and such.  So, here’s what I wrote for her this Mother’s Day.  Maybe some of it will vibe with you too.  Enjoy!

NO ONE BUT MOM
From the first staggering steps so small
To leaps across hurdles on track in the Fall
No one shouts louder than Mom!

From the first bleeding scratches on knees
To split open heads and stitches please
No one runs faster than Mom!

From the first wobbling pedaling feet
To the helmeted hero about to compete
No one screams louder than Mom!

From the first mumbling bumbling words
To winning debates with fellow nerds
No one is prouder than Mom!

From first little kisses on Momma’s cheek
To hearts and roses for a girl so sweet
No one misses him more than Mom!

From the first desperate gasp of life
To the moment we part and say goodbye
No one is dearer than Mom!
