This is my latest entry within Holly's open poetry contest...
“Mom”

2/19/07

With a frame just over five feet
And a silvery-gray mane of waves
Her gentle smile and sincere countenance
Can make everything alright.

This married mother of two
Likes to keep things clean and neat
And is a talented cook –
‘Here, have a bite of this delectable treat.’

A college grad and working professional
She’s also a friend, a daughter, and a sister too,
She’ll do her best for me or for you.

With a heart of gold
And a voice soft and sweet
My favorite soprano combines her vocal range
With the harmonious tones in the church choir.

To young and old she is dear, indeed
And means so much to all who meet her
With her traditional values
And sense of humor

There is so much I love
About this sweet soul
My feelings extend beyond these words I’ve told
So whether I’m young and until I grow old
I’m always grateful for Mom
Perhaps the nicest woman I’ll ever meet.
