An Ode to Mom

Mother's Day is coming up... but since I'll be out of town, I'm posting this now. I've always liked writing silly little rhyming poems. I just sit down and write whatever comes to mind, even if it's not the right amount of syllables. For any of you that got our last Christmas card, you've already experienced some of that (although Eric wrote a lot of it)! Anyways, this one's for you Mom!

There's a lot to say about such a great mom
She's the greatest of friends
And she took me dress shopping for prom!

She taught me to sing and to curl my hair
She took me to the beach
And bought funnel cakes at the fair.

She was quick to give care when I was stung by bees
She sewed my favorite stuffed toy
And made me like peas.

She gave me the courage to follow my dreams
She was there when things were rough,
And said, "It's not as bad as it seems!"

My mom is constant, reliable, faithful, and true
She's determind and tough
And hardworking too.

Where would I be without my mom?
Out on the street
Without a dress for the prom!
