Mother’s Day is coming near
Give thanks to Mother who you hold so dear
She works so hard the whole year through
Doing things endlessly all for you
Whether it’s a rose or a table cloth
Giving thanks is never enough
Appreciating all that she has done
Telling her she’s # 1

Valentines Day…
Its pouring someone a drink after they ate a snack and they’re probably thirsty
Its buying a small item for someone knowing its something they can really use
Its writing a small note saying you’re thinking about them
Its letting Mom sleep in late knowing she was up with the baby at night
Its setting the table when the kids are hungry and Mom is finishing up
Its clearing the table after dinner when homework and chores are on the list as well
Its babysitting so Mom can get out a bit
Its preparing a special breakfast with some thoughtful treats
Its small acts of kindness that show lots of love

I have a grandma she is 82
She has not just one ailment but quite a few
She tries real hard not to complain,
But sometimes she can’t ignore the pain.
Since she retired she now has the time,
To listen to her body and hear it chime.
I thought it would be a great idea,
To invite her over and spread some cheer.
I’ll also invite her friends for cake and wild berry zinger
Just think of the pleasure the event will bring her.
“Great” said Grandma see you then
“I’ll circle on the calendar so I will know when.”
On that designated day they all arrived,
Happily chatting they all stepped inside.
The discussion was centered around the table
Reminiscing of the time when they were able
To knit a piece, an old world style
A tablecloth such as mine they have not seen in a while
It’s delicate lace a work of art,
The intricate styles that set them apart.
So busy talking soon the hour was late,
They thanked me for the party and said it was great!
Such a good time they hadn’t had in years
No time to worry or address their fears
Never heard from them so much as a groan,
So glad of the party that I had thrown!

On this wintery day so very frigid
I recall a memory so vivid
Of my mom and I when I was a child
My mom took my sis and me
To a wide open field filled with strawberries
For a day filled with fun under the sun
We each got a basket and told to fill to the top
Luscious strawberries we ate unable to stop
We tried to pick the juiciest ones that were red
My sister couldn’t differentiate
So she picked the unripe ones instead
We laughed and enjoyed each other’s company
Till it was time to go home to kitchen duty
To strawberry jam making and strawberry pie baking….
Oh those days have gone by, now there are just memories
So I’m spreading out my tablecloth filled with printed strawberries
Glad I have something to remind me of good ol’ days gone by
And made up my mind that I will try
When the weather turns warmer a strawberry patch I’ll see
And enjoy the day out with my family.
