Mother's Day

Sunday, May 9

when i was a baby

you taught me not to shove

you taught me right from wrong

you taught me how to love

and as i started growing

you taught me how to dress

you taught me how to cook

and clean up my own mess

you taught me how to act

when things didn't go my way

and you taught me how to work -

to work hard every day

you taught me not to follow

to be a leader just like you

and you taught me not to quit

no matter what i had to do

but most of all you taught me -

even though it was sort of hard -

to be an excellent daughter

and write great mother's day cards!
