HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

MY MOM & DAD

I wanted to write a poem
about my sweet little Mom
but found without my Dad in it,
it would only be half done.

You can't thank one without the other,
as they are definitely a team
The love and values that I grew up with,
Makes my childhood like a dream.

Mom was a wiz with her sewing machine.
Making cute little dresses
for Debbie & me.

She always was there
any time we came home.
Fresh chocolate chip cookies
In the cookie jar, still warm.

At the end of the day,
When most people would drop,
Mom's little hands are busy
on another pretty quilt top.

Dad has always been my fun guy
Took me fishing and on wild rides.
Even taught me at the age of 11
How to drive that big Semi.

Pulled the sled behind the car,
Down the runway, what a blast.
Grand Lake boating & Disneyland
How long could this fun last!

It's lasted 50 years so far,
and continues on each day.
I only hope that I can be
That kind of parent, in my own way.

I couldn't thank each one enough
for all that they have given,
and in return, I pass it on to
the next generation.
