Reflection Of Mother
With hypnotic sounds of this Grand-Mothers clock
running smoothly through out the years
I look back now as time ticks on
with chimes of life this clock brings near
Like the times of my earliest child-hood
and a mother I loved so dear
She walked with fun and firmness
life reflects like a reflection in a mirror
The shine of her hair and blush-ness of her cheeks
those little sayings " I Do Declare "
No matter if she was pleasantly surprised
or caring for kids continually in her hair
Luther King said he had a dream
I feel mom invented that phrase
When troubles seem to double
saying "Lordy-Lordy" we have so much to praise
She could dance away the night to dawn
out work any man or spin wool yarn
But her female side with feelings of pride
she tended to her flowers taking life in stride
As I think back Tho I look like her
in many ways act the same way
Thank you for being there for me
a clock chimes of passing days
It's hard to except lives gone is separate ways
equally hard excepting the way I feel
Like a novel that's incomplete
as I held on to a love that is real
So Mother remember where ever you are
the love of your children is not very far
You are priceless and special on every day
Happy Mothers Day to you in a truly loving way
