March 31: A Tribute to My Mom

My Mamoo

My mom's name was Dorris, but she was called Jean.

She was the nicest mom that you had ever seen!

You could find her curled up with a book from the past

or playing on the floor with kids--she was never downcast.

She may be cooking in the kitchen with a pan made of cast (iron)

Or telling a story that would make memories last.

My mom never met a stranger, and she really liked to talk--

She was my friend, my nurse, my teacher, and even my alarm clock.

Her favorites included hamburgers and the color green;

She loved history, especially from Ireland, and even the Queen.

My mom picked flowers by the side of the road

Bringing in knickknacks, gold paint, & things she had sewed

My mom was the best, number one in my books

I miss her hugs, her laugh, and not to mention, her looks

Having a mom that is there every day

Makes you love her forever in every way.

**Today would be my mom's birthday (83)!!! Happy birthday to my mom! From: Me
