Hugs For Sally

Hugs For Sally

 

Sally, the youngest daughter,

Works all day, every day,

Then cares for her daughter, her grandchildren,

And her aged and ailing mother.

 

Sally has a grocery list,

On a paper hung by a magnet,

Which holds an old family photo.

Stuck to the 'fridge in the tiny kitchen.

 

Bread and milk top the list,

Then some fixin's for a casserole,

But there at the bottom of the list is written,

Right underneath TP and coffee,

The most important item of all,

"Hugs for Sally."
