An Ode To Mom

Thank you for being there and saying you care

For cheering me up when a boy I liked didn’t care

Thank you for the words of advice you think I don’t hear

For cutting me slack when I don’t understand Shakespeare

Thank you for picking on what I wear

It’s just another sign that you care

Thank you for making sure I know I always feel loved

It warms my soul, like an Ugg winter glove

Thank you for driving me city to city

This as I pursued a career with my sidekick kitty

Thank you for getting my Cabbage Patch Kid

Don’t think I forgot, what you did.

Thank you for teaching me Hebrew in school

Even though I broke rules and wasn’t your star pupil

Thank you for leaving me voice messages every night

For reminding me to shine in my own spotlight

This poem could go on and on … cause mom… you’re the best around

To all mothers in every town

You all deserve a diamond crown

So sons and daughters if you’re reading this

Call your mom or giver her a kiss 

Happy Mother’s Day
