WOW

Appropriate, yes?

Turn the word Mom

Upside down and you

Get "Wow"

Wow, you worked full time

Cooked every night

Made our lunches every day

Cleaned, washed, mowed,

Trimmed, sewed

And late into the night

You danced

Because that is what

You taught at the college

But you taught so much 

More

How to bake, cook

Refinish furniture

Load a dishwasher

Pull the weeds

(by the roots or they come right back)

Balance accounts

And spend freely

Sing "She'll be Coming Around the Mountain"

How to, to, to

Do everything and

Still have energy to laugh

At silly jokes,
Wrap us in hugs everlasting

Grimace at messy rooms

And how to always, always, always

Look for silver linings
