She worked from dawn to dusk each day But always found the time To sit down by our sides and play She read us tales most every day She was the one who introduced me To all my cherished friends She taught me Poe, Jane Eyre, Thoreau Asimov, Heinlen, Norton too No fancy title she ever bore Her rewards came in little things From pudgy, sticky covered hands And faces with milk mustache rings She's still a shining example Of all I'd want to be Nothing will ever take the place Of what she is to me My Mom Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |

A loving and beautiful tribute to your mom...she will love it. I certainly enjoyed it. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |

Thank you all so much  I just have to share this; I sent it to my mom and she wrote back that she read it; cried a while and wrote me an email (she lives in Iowa, while I live in Texas)..she said when you're 16 and you have a baby, you do the best you can..... well, we always did get and still do get her very best and that's pretty wonderful Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |
