Ode to Mom

She was my best friend, my confidant,
she was my angel, she was Mom.

She kissed my boo boos away, and caught
me when I was two, running naked down the street
with nothing on but a pair of gloves!

She made sure I did all my homework, and worried
when I was sick.and when I was bad, out came the stick!!!
She worked hard at making sure I had the best, and made
darned surethat in school I did my best! She set an example,
of love and caring, and showed me how to take care of hard situations,
with out causing another "situation" She was the one that kept us out
of trouble with dad Her driving was the joke of the family
(trust me, when a cop pulls your mom over and tells you to drive for the
good of the community, even though you don't have your license on you,
you never let anyonelive that down!) She taught me that forgivness
wasn't for the one who did you wrong, but for you, so you don't carry
it around on your shoulders. As much as we loved her, we loved when
she did letdad take over the cooking, (She did burn water!) She was a
very serious person, so when she did something totally off the wall, you
remembered it. She was very much into god, and our country, She said
both were in our blood. She lovedhelping others, and did so very often.
She worked hard on her job, to make sure my siblings and I didn't have
to break our backs on ours. She also made dad happy, which definately made us
happy!!!! She was the one that made sure we heard her when we woke
up with a hangover the law said we shouldn't have!!!!!
She was our angel, our compassion, our love, and most important,
she was mom. She has gone to heaven, to watch over us now, b
et she has those golden wings, 'cause with mefor a daughter,
SHE SURE EARNED THEM.
