Just for Mom
Remember when Mom was your whole world?
Moms are magnets. Mom is wow upside down. Give
your mom flowers on your birthday. Remember the womb.
Moms always have kleenex (tissue). We only get one mom -
we can adopt others. Moms are human beans too.
Waltz in the kitchen with mom. Moms are mythical,
memorable and marvelous. Go curl up near
your mom and tell stories. Wear chenille
bathrobes together. Moms worry peep.
Bake cookies and argue gently. Write
down all the reasons you're mad at her
and deal with them. Make a list of
all your favorite things about
your mom. Play cards together,
eat M&M's and laugh
until your cheeks hurt.
Forgive all the old
junk. Call your mom
and tell her you'll
love her forever.
Tell
her
now.
