Ramblings of a mom on a roll...
May. 16, 2007 - Mother Day Poem
Posted in Poetry

My fifteen year old step-daughter called me on Mother's Day to wish me a Happy Mother's Day.  She told me she wrote me a poem and would email it to me.  This is her poem .  I think it's wonderful so I thought I would share it with my friends.  ~~ I love you, Melissa. ~~
Mom,
 
I know I get on your nerves
I can be a pain
Sometimes your sanity curves
Sometimes I make you ashamed
 
But you still hang in there
You don't give up on me
It's just not fair (in the good way)
You do it for free
 
I'll always treasure our fun
On those times, I shall bide
Like the unicorn we shun
And the grasshopper we keep inside
 
It may not be much
But I really truely do
My heart, you have touched
I deeply appreciate you
 
I will always remember
All we have rendered
 
HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY!!!!

What a sweet poem! Thanks for sharing it. I'm really glad you guys are safe. I was a little concerned when you didn't post for a few days considering all that was going on.

What a lovely Mother's Day gift she gave you! I'm sorry you are dealing with the fires and drought. I'll keep you in prayer, especially for protection from the bears and alligators. That's wild (literally)!! I'll also pray for rain (just simple rain, no storms!) Take care!

"Sometimes your sanity curves" -- I love it. Maybe that is what happened to me... curved round and round into a tight little spiral...
