May 11, 2008 Mother’s Day Poem
To Mom
From Mom I got my love of words,
My love of rhyming too.
My love of writing poetry,
My love of good haiku.
From Mom I got my love of food,
My love of cheese fondue.
My love of all things chocolate,
My love of vindaloo. (ack)
From Mom I got my love of trees,
My love of flowers too.
My love of digging in the dirt,
My love of meadow rue.
From Mom I got my love of woods,
My love of nature too.
My love of birds and moose and bats,
My love of morning dew.
But, best of all from Mom I got
A love to stand all time.
A mother’s love embraces me,
A mother’s love sublime.
