Mommie

She stayed up for countless nights
Worried not about herself
Wiping little noses clean
Loving children back to health

She spent many more nights still
Deep in sleepless lakes of thought
Guessing what to do from here
Never seeming that distraught

There were many wins hard won
All we had was each other
She loved us with all she had
I'm so proud she is my mother

She stands tall like a redwood
I know none as strong as she
I can only hope that when you look
You'll see a lot of her in me

To my mommie, Lisa, written by your Pookie Girl (Me), with love!

Happy Mother's Day! (2022)

[John the Baptist]

With all the talk of dysfunctional families and bitterness against parents, it's nice to see a tribute like this one. Parenting is no easy job, and it seems as though the subject of this offering did it very well.
