Mom

Many are the memories,
Flowing through my mind of you.
Memories of my growing up,
And things we used to do.

Driving through the country,
You would yodel in the car.
I always thought that you should be,
A country music star.

Time spent with you at the grocery store,
For me was quite a treat.
I would play all day,
While you would work to make ends meet.

Aunt and cousins often lived with us,
You offered them a place to stay.
To you, they came in hard times,
And were never turned away.

You made sure that little Carol and I,
Always had a happy home.
We always had the things we needed,
And you did it on your own.

I love you now as I did then,
And I will throughout all time.
On the day that God made Mothers,
I’m so glad he made you mine.

Jack Roberts – January 12, 2003

Wow Jack...this is so beautiful and makes me feel better about bringing up a child alone ...guess it shows the worls that kids in sole parent families can end up perfectly normal and can turn out to be adults to be real proud of and I am sure your mum is beaming with pride of you and your beautiful poem.Well done Jack,she sounds delightful and brave.
