Happy Mother's Day

Given life, given grace.
Given looks of soft-spun lace.
Mind of steel and heart of gold.
My love for you will always hold.

Anger comes and anger goes.
We hit our highs and we hit our lows.
Things happen that are hard to stop.
Like the two times I've seen the cops.

I was away, but now I'm back.
I'm ready to help take up the slack.
Even the strongest can use a guard.
I promise to work upon the yard.

Sometimes I think you a fool.
I promise to finish school.
I know that you are the best.
You probably need a bit more rest.

The best mother in all the nation.
You need a hell of a vacation.
Best mom in all the lands.
I'm offering a helping hand.

If you ever need it, please do call.
If I have it, you can have it all.
Help, love, a place to stay, even a loan.
If you need it you have it, so say the gnome.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you.
