Why, no Mom, nothing is wrong Just didn't take time to write or call You know me can't say why it took so long There, there, you don't need to bawl Been busy working in the garden Doing the things I love to do outside Not enough rain so the earth does harden Ground as tough as her tanned hide To my eyes she is still my little girl Though all grown up and so independent Can make a silk purse from a sow's ear--sure But no time for letters to be sent Not a housekeeper for my kid No time for fancy clothes or shoes Nothing has changed, doing as she always did Doing it her way, don't like it? You lose The child only a mother can love Dirty finger nails, callouses on hands and feet Pants so tight they fit like a glove But her disposition can't be beat Love you my kid Enjoyed you company So many talents hid Happiness done her way |

And you are such a great mother to let her live this way. Very warm verse and very well written. I enjoyed the expression of motherly pondering! Sincerely, Regina |

Regina, her name is Gina..can you believe it! I learned early in her life, to not change her. She is happy and that is all that counts. Thank you |

Titia, as mother's we think our kids are one of a kind. I guess they are the same all over this world. My kid has always been her own person. There is no way to change her. So as her mother, I just except her as she is. |
