Ode to Mother
In Praise of Loving Mothers
stopped to think
or decide that
someone else
was really important
just because
of a smile.
Who gave out love
and praise instead
of grumbled
or derided.
There is always
something so warm,
so glad it was you
who just walked in,
about the way her
friendly face
lights up,
when she sees
you're home.
That the
whole day is really
something special,
just because
you are there.
It gives you
a very warm,
satisfying feeling,
just to be
alive again,
and near her.
Her smile gives you
a well balanced
i fit in peppy
enthusiasm.
She makes you feel
really glad
you are alive.
It couldn't possibly
be any other,
than your
ever loving,
wonderful,
understanding
mother.
