Feeling Sentamental

I guess you could call this a cheat since I didn't write this today... but, i was looking through my old blog and found this entry for my mom's birthday four years ago!

y mom’s birthday is coming up soon, but she doesn’t want me to announce the proud age (fancy that), so instead of what I normally do, write one that that I love about the person for each year (since in doing that I would give the age away), I will have to come up with something different!

Hmmm….  What could I do?

Oh, I know!  I can write a poem!

This may take awhile, but since you can’t see my thinking process, my erasing, my starting over…  this won’t take very long for YOU! I could very well leave for a year, with it unfinished, come back and finish it , and you would never know a thing.  But since all I have is a few days and not a year, I don’t think that method would work!

Yes, yes, I know what you’re thinking!  Stop that infernal rambling and get on with the  point!

Okay, okay! Back to the point.  Oh wait! What was the point? Yes, right, the poem! He! He! I have a dumb sense of humor!

Okay, time to get serious! :/

• whispers under breath * seriously silly!  He! He!

So here’s the poem:

Thank-you, Mom,

  For endless days

You’ve cared for me,

  In endless ways

Thanks for working

  Every hour,

To protect me from

  Evil’s power.

The days, they seem,

  To slip away

And sometimes our friendship

  Begins to fray.

I just want

  You to know,

Thanks for caring more,

    For how I grow.

Most of all

  I want to thank you for

Guiding me upward,

  More and more.

For teaching me the way,

  That I should go,

Even when

  It hurts you so.

Please forgive

  My days

And every time

  It did replay.

Thanks for the lessons

  You’ve taught to me,

Like saving myself

  For the man to be.

Thanks for guiding me

  All the way

Every time

  I start to stray.

Thank-You for not

  Giving up on me.

When I was surly,

  You prayed for me.

I wish your birthday

  Is warm and happy.

I hope this poem

  Was not too sappy!

Now go up to my mom and tell her she still looks young!  (Even though you probably haven’t seen her!  LOL!

HEARTS to my momma! <3 <3 <3
