Traveled to New Jersey to see my mom celebrate her 96th Birthday. It was another world in another time and place.


Poem Artwork

 

We went to New Jersey to see my mother

My mother was celebrating her 96th!

But there were conflicts with sisters and brothers

Family expectations got involved in the mix!

 

Still, mother was so very happy and really loved it

Tried hard to keep family fueding from emploding

Mom was at her best and she enjoyed every minute!

But this powder keg was at the brink of exploding

 

The party was ending; the crowd begain to go away

We kept cool remembering our reason for this visit

Mom was very alert and sharp that day

This world's a BETTER place with Mom in it!  

 

Thank you MOM for being so gracoius and kind!

We love you so much!

Your Angelic light truly shines!

 

Love & Blessings,

Johnny & Elizabeth

Your love for your mother shines like a beacon through your words, John. Isn't it the truth that there's always family drama going on in most families? Ha ha!! I enjoyed this so much!

Love ya!
