Dear Mom,
We make you cry
You feel like you might die
Yet you still make us apple pie
We make you weep
You don’t get much sleep
Yet you clean up Doobie’s peep
Messes on the ground
Loud noises all around
Yet you always can be found
We’ve driven you to your wits end
You cook, bake, patch and mend
Yet you are our bestest friend
Nothing seems to get done
The kids have you on the run
Yet you still find ways to make it fun
Dirty clothing in a pile
‘Wooba’ flowing like the Nile
Yet you do it all in style
With cracking feet
You walk a well-worn beat
Yet you never admit self defeat
In college I had no plan
I became your “China man”
Yet you’re my greatest fan
With no time to blink
Sophie’s clothed in five shades of pink
Yet you are the strongest link
Shooting pains and aching head
You’d like to paint Luke’s back-porch red
Yet you somehow see that he is fed
I speak for little Sadie-Boo
And children one and two
When I say that we love you
Happy Mother's Day 2009!
With all our love
Dad, Sophie, Lucas and Sadie
It was fun to see Sophie waving at me from the stand in church as the primary sang a special musical number :)
I am blessed to be a mother! I love days like this. . . .
