MOTHER

by Cletus Hardiman - Sagittarius

Hands that's soft, but wrinkled
and hair that's turned to gray
Steps that have grown slower
with every passing day;
a mind that has grown weary
and eyes that have turned dim,
But, a heart that's filled with love
over-flowing at the brim.

Oh, Mother, dear, of you I speak
upon this Mother's day.
I want to thank you for your deeds,
for me, you've done along the way.
'tho it's not possible to count them
or mention all in just one day,
Please stay around--don't leave me now
I'll make each day, a MOTHER'S DAY  ! ! !

Reason for writing:

    My dear mom is 93, as I put this poem on the internet.....I know I cannot have her forever, but, the selfish side of me wishes that I could.....I love you, Mother.........
