In honor of my mom's birthday today, I'd like to share this little poem I wrote in 1991.
A Mother's Love
My mom arose at 5:00 a.m. to make my Valentine's Day cookies.
My mom made me do my Saturday jobs--
Because she loved me.
My mom ate the half-baked anniversary cake I tried to make.
My mom made me take piano lessons--
Because she loved me.
My mom stayed up till midnight to help me sew.
My mom made me pay for half of my new coat--
Because she loved me.
My mom told me to wake her whenever I came home after she was asleep.
My mom wouldn't let me go to the freshman party--
Because she loved me.
My mom tells me, "I delight in you."
My mom says, "You have to make your own decisions,"
Because she loves me.
