Valentine For My Mom

I remember when I was a little child
how hard I tried to get you riled
and through it all you laughed and smiled

I never stood still...ran around
pitter patter
I drove you crazy
with my constant chatter

you nourished me with love
and lambchops
and loving hugs
that never stopped
my Mom...you are
the cream of the crop

in my teens, I'd borrow your clothes
in the dark, from your closet
on tippy toes
how you stood it
heaven knows

years later now, I am grown
oh how fast the years have flown
as a Mom
you'll never be outshone
