I Never Thought My Mother the Best

I never thought my mom the best.
But there is no doubt about it she was the best cook ever.
She could take a routine meal and make it taste like thanksgiving.

I never thought my mom the best
But she definitely would be the best at improvising.
Give her a safety pin and just about anything would be good as new.

I never thought my mom the best,
But she was top notch at communicating,
If you didn't catch the message the first time, then her body would send you the second one, then your body would catch the third.

I never thought my mom the best,
But she was the best at saving money
I have seen her buy a whole basket of groceries we didn't need just because she had triple coupons.

I never thought my mom the best
But she was always the best at telling jokes
The punch line might not have been funny, but the way she told it always left me in stitches

I never thought my mom the best
She was the best, though, at laughing at herself
Like the time she blew her nose in a napkin full of hot and melted bubble gum.

I never thought my mom the best
But she was always the best at controlling her temper
She always knew exactly where her anger was directed

I never thought my mom the best
But my kids think she hung the moon
She waited until I was grown before she started letting kids get away with anything.

I never thought my mom the best
But she was the best at being loyal and faithful
She has stood by her husband no matter what, and for this I'm thankful.

I never thought my mom the best
But she was the best ever at forgiving
To my knowledge, she has never held anything against anyone, for more than a couple days.

I never thought my mom the best
But she always seemed to have the greatest faith
She always seemed to have just enough mustard seeds to give me a couple.

I never thought my mom the best
But no doubt she was the best at timing her hugs
She knew just when I needed one the most.

I never thought my mom the best
But now that I see all the things She was the best at doing
I realize that I've know she was the best all along .
