More Innocent Hearts

Moms! 2013

By Linda Hays-Gibbs

Moms are very strange creatures!
Some old some young features.
We celebrate their special day,
But really what can we honestly say?
They carried us for almost a year.
Inside of them we took their care
Then for eighteen more before we hit the door,
Thinking we knew it all!
At first we didn't even call!
Then one day it hits you hard!
And all we can do is send a card?
We love them so we admit that too.
We say to ourselves what else can I do?
Maybe she just needs a hug or two,
Or maybe that hug is for you?
Don't sit around and look so sad.
Your mom knows that you've been bad.
But like another that forgives your sins.
Your mom will always take your burdens in.
She loves you no matter what you do.
For her love is better than through and through.
Hug her long, hug her hard.
Then give her, her little card
But remember before you go out that door.
There is no one on this earth that can love you MORE!
