My dear boy he likes to spend The money in his pocket He'll want to buy Mom something A watch or golden locket I thought of when I was young Gifts were far and few between Holidays were sad for me Those times were often lean Where is the loving touch In a necklace made of gold But how can you explain this To a boy just eight years old So when you are eight years old Are you wiser if you're poor When all the money's spent At the corner thrifty store? So you save a little boy Go and fill your piggy bank You can make funny faces You'll later have me to thank Dandelions go well with Mom's soft and flowing hair Pick a bunch run to her And place them way up there Come and sit with me my boy We'll write Mom a thank you note Our hands will hurt from writing But she'll love what all we wrote You've put away your money I see that with a smile What's that you say my boy? You've been planning all the while? Yes boy let's go see your room All the paper and the mess No I'm not mad my sweet boy I'm so proud I must confess You have made a great collage Don't cry you've spent from pocket Dad should not have judged you boy For I got her golden locket |

Nice to see a wife mentioned... as I do know our own mother's mean so much. I say two thumbs up my friend. If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name.
