I Hope You Had A Mom

I hope you had a Mom who on particularly pleasant days took you out of school and drove you to the lake to go swimming and have a picnic

A Mom who laughed a lot

A Mom who bought you How To Draw books (even though they didn’t work)

A Mom who let you play your guitar into the late hours of the night and never complained

A Mom who taught you to judge people based on their character not their appearance

A Mom who said, “Go outside and play”

A Mom who loved God and modeled Love your neighbor as yourself

A Mom who made you come home before the street lights came on

A Mom with funny, lovable relatives that were fun to visit

A Mom who went skydiving in her “later years”

A Mom who drove a used 1960s Porsche that was always breaking down

A Mom who made the best cinnamon rolls in the world

A Mom who is loved by many

A Mom who loved you a lot

Because I did and it was great

Happy Mother’s Day Mom!
