This is a poem to my mom. She lives a long ways away, but I just got back from a visit with her. She's in her 80's and I don't know how many more times I'll be able to tell her how much I love her.
*TO MY MOM* As my mind takes me back to all the times that we’ve shared, I realize how poorly I’ve been at showing how much I cared. You have always been there to lend us all a hand. First to offer encouragement, first to show you understand. Yet, somehow you’re always last to accept our gratitude. Whenever we try to thank you, seems you always cop an attitude. Possibly I may have done a better job of bringing up my sons. But, when it comes to carrying on I know they will be the ones. They’ll make us proud, I know they will, thanks in no small part to you. The lessons that you taught to them, show in all they say and do. When it’s time to step to the fore and for them to carry on, I’ll know that much of what they do, came directly from my mom. © copyright 2010 Richard Lee King,

This is great, Dick. We sure need to invest time in those who love us and give us our tales and hear out our stories before we're ready to tell them to the world.

Ya done her proud. Weekend phone calls can add up to a bunch of times to tell her you love her. Patrick

Great poem of love and gratitude to a wonderful mom. Well written and heart felt. She will have a tear in her eye when she reads this even if she has it with an attitude. I'm glad you wrote it for her while she could still read it.
