She dressed her little girls in frills
cleaned up her boy’s skinned knees
told stories at bedtime
tucked them in
“Sleep Tight”
***
Nights and Weekend Ball Games
toting all that stuff
weekly voice, piano
backstage her Drama Queen
up front
***
Driving Driving Driving
remember the brakes
eye on the mirror
can’t afford
mistakes
***
Loving them- always
missing them- each day
“call when you can dear
can’t stand when you’re away”
***
We love our moms – our mothers
how could we do without
those little touches
that’s what mothers are
all about

Thanks to playing with brushes for the sweet picture
