It is I, your first-born child, come to say, That I would like to thank you for your love, I give you all of mine this Mother's Day, And all the year, you're thought so fondly of, You are so thoughtful, and so very dear, A kind and caring person you are too, So warm and friendly, sweet, and so sincere, These qualities of yours I love so true. Then, of course, you've got those business skills, I have admired for so very long, None of that matters, though, when I am ill, Except the yearning that becomes so strong, Of wishing you lived closer, and you'd come, Whenever I lament, "I want my Mom". I love you, Mom Happy Mother's Day Kris < !signature--> the poet's pen...gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name ~ Shakespeare [This message has been edited by warmhrt (edited 05-15-2000).] |

Oh, how I would love to recieve a sonnet like this on Mothers Day, but unfortunately none of my children are poets. She will love and cherish this, knowing that you still need her, as we all do, no matter our age. This is very sweet and loving. Liz |

Thanks, Liz...I wanted to send it as one of our e-cards, then found out I couldn't, so I copied it and put in in an e-mail. Not quite the same, but she'll still get the message. You, too, seem to be a very kind and caring person. A very Happy Mothers' Day to you.

This is a pretty neat tribute to your mom... Your theme is consistent throughout... Your Shakespearean rhyme scheme is intact as well. There are a couple of spots where your meter is slightly off...(lines 1 & 9)... Other than that (and your mom probably won't notice)... It's a roll... Hope she enjoyed it...  |
