For Mother's Day Tomorrow

Tweet

So, we decided to have a cookout at our place tomorrow for Mother's Day. We will have over my mother, and my sister, and my niece. All moms. I perused the card aisle and thought, my gosh, do I really want to spend $15 on cards that will just wind up in the trash? Instead I decided to get three packages of Dove chocolates at $4 a piece and write a poem of my own which we attached to the packets of chocolates. I am not great at poetry, but I did my best with this little ditty. Here is the poem I wrote for my mom, my sister, and my niece. There I stood, looking at cards And there I thought, long and hard Two seconds to look These things are priced like a book! Do I waste money on those, Mere seconds of prose? Things read in a dash And tossed into the trash? No way said I, Instead I will buy Something to eat, A delectable treat With nary a thought Indeed I had bought A chocolate for you and a chocolate for her A chocolate for mom, my niece and sister Besides, I can write something of my own Of the seeds you have sown Of what great mothers you are What you have done like a star Given life and love, And gone beyond and above To know all of you is the greatest of honor A mom is a person, the world upon her Who gives all of her life no matter what To those she gave life, no ifs ands or but I love you Mom, my sister and niece. I love your devotion that will never cease. Happy Mother's Day to you You will forever be loved, this day going forward and forever and through
