My Mama

 

 

              

 

 

     Here is Mama!  The woman who has taught me so much about love and family.  This poem I wrote for her for Mothers Day 2011.  One for her and one for Daddy.  Once again, I just try to catch just a bit of her character is a fun, rhyming way but truly, to know her personally is the best way to see how special she is!

All About Grandma

 

You'll find Grandma in the kitchen

From morning til night

Just stop over and have a bite

 

             

 

 

Here you'll find delicious things to eat

from chicken to pot roast and of course Roast Beef!

 

 

 

 

 

 

She has baked the desserts

Brownies, cakes and pies

Eating at Grandma's can make you sigh

Dessert can be ecstasy

So many to choose

hen it's time to leave

We have much weight to lose!

 

                    

 

 

 

But there is more to Granma

than her amazing food

She is loving and gracious and

almost always in a good mood

She is loyal to her friends

And only a phone call away

She remembers everyone's

birthday

With a card, present and cake!

 

 

 

 

We love you Grandma

Your home is so cozy

With toys, blankets, recliners

And the woodstove...

It is always so toasty

 

 

 

 

You are dressed in the finest for

church, weddings and parties

and your earrings, they dangle

and sparkle

like diamonds








 

 

You like to go shopping and find all the bargains

And at yard sales we'll find you haggling and laughing

 

 

 

 

Your home is filled with the

treasures you find

And for Christmas they're

wrapped and place under the tree just in time

 

 

 

 

She is a lover of people

and puts everyone at ease

At church she's a joker and a great big

tease

 

 

 

 

Gardening and mowing

Cooking and sewing

You do it all with great joy

And always keep going

 

 

 

 

Her faith in God is true, strong and pure

And she is never afraid to question Him

who loves her

God has blessed her for her faith

with a family of great size

His reward for her faithfulness

And oh what a prize

 

 

 

 

She treasures us all

And stays as close as she can

She never forgets us, not one of the clan

She's not just our mother

No, so much more than that

She is our buddy, our confidante, our

friend

And holds us all together as strong as

cement!

 

    

     Mama never likes to have her picture taken so how is it that she has six daughters who clamor to be in front of the camera?  A mystery! I especially love this photo because we are all

laughing! Especially Mama!!
