5/10/15 Mother's Day Thought?

    Mother's Day, yet another way

to show our mothers love, in a new display

I can thank the Lord or I can thank the Earth

both take credit for the woman that gave me birth

she taught me right from what is wrong

and probably to appreciate a 60's song

She said "with open eyes you tackle life"

go forward and find a good wife.

This was perhaps the best advice of all

for a good wife makes a man stand tall

and though we both argue over small crap

I know my wife always has my back

She's given me two boys that seem so different

but in their core it is us they represent

The first one thoughtful and quiet

the other loud and a laugh riot

but put them together and you'll notice both burning with knowledge

If the secret of life is to always be grinning

call me Charlie Sheen cause I am "winning!"

Life has always been good for me at every stage

thanks to all the women who have acted as a sage

Sometimes I feel like I might be slow

but I think all the mother's I know just wish I was their Joe.

I was raised to be so awesome and debonair

all the mama's I know wish I was their heir.

I love all you mama's in the proper amount

for you give me your knowledge, and I do not discount

I am a better man for all the lessons that I have been taught

but of course it all started with the woman that cleaned off my snot.
