Mom passed away a few years ago. She was a very special lady and never far from my thoughts. This poem is for her.

Mom's Bucket List:

One more dance,
One more song,
Some happy steps,
On feet, still strong;
One more day,
One more hour
To hear a bird,
To smell a flower;
To find within,
A child's pure heart
To light my path
Before we part,
And please, dear Lord,
A friendly smile,
To take with me
On my last mile.
Edie Batstone

If your mother only could see it! You may not know this, but as I read it, I saw classic phraseology that would rank it in the order of the child's prayer� "Now I lay me down to sleep�"

Could also easily be made into a song.
