[hometext] => I wrote this poem up fast...it's how I look at my
Mom now...and how things might change in the future for her..but no matter what I'll love her the same as I do now. She's such an amazing friend and person that I can't help but love her with all of my heart and want her in my life forever and love every chance we have together. Even going out for lunch sometimes is sooooo nice. I love talking with her about things in my life...she has the best listening ear and knows me like no other. I know aging for her will come SLOWLY and not as quickly as I depicted....I just know that is what eventually will happen and I want her to know that with whatever change she goes through..I will be there for her to help her, be there for her, support her, love her...and be her best friend when she needs me like I need her. I honestly don't know what I would do if I didn't have her. I'm really lucky to have developed into the person I am...and I believe she had a lot to do with it. She's my role model in every angle of life. I just wanted to write something about her..... [bodytext] => THIS LADY A new wrinkle has shown upon her cheek Her laugh lines as you can tell are not weak She combs her hair in the mirror and then stands still Confused this part of aging is all of Gods will Remembering times when her skin was tight Wedding photos of her in all white Her head is still crazy and aged twenty Tell that to her body as joint pains are plenty No more short skirts and sexy heels No more fast driving, she's now slow behind the wheel She perks up her glasses or she can't see at all Without them, she couldn't read, or surely have a fall She now has to worry about all of her bones And when you speak to her...jack up your tones Yes, her hearing is fading and she wears this thing in her ear Her image she dislikes and over it she sheds a tear It's hard for her to tie even her shoelaces Pretty soon will come different back braces She uses this walker to get her around Yes this is the person that I have found She's this aging lady whom I will still love one day She'll never really "change" to me, some things don't go away. She's my best friend throughout life, she's my Mom This will all happen to her slowly but not in one lumps sum I'll slowly be looking at her in this light It's over lunch I realize this as I take my last bite This lady sitting across from me is really still young and pretty Her humour is great, she's really quite witty I have the greatest mom of everyone Loving, gentle, kind and fun I guess I see and know what is ahead Ok...enough...let's get the bill...we're full and fed Lunch was great mom, It's my turn, I'll pay I love to be with you...you completely make my day Don't be silly, I insist I pay for your meal You grab next times bill, is that a deal? We both head to the restroom...ya know...to freshen up a bit I think I ate too much...it feels like my clothes don't fit I wait for this lady who takes a quick peek in the reflective glass She's beautiful, look at her, she has so much class Hardly wrinkled, soft spoken and dainty My role model, my mom...a perfect lady. Great! You're done...grab my arm and let's leave Hey mom..you forgot that ...that thing between your teeth. What would you do without me, see how things have reversed Isn't it funny how I needed you first We walk out to my car and I get in last She warns me to drive slow..not fast Stop playing with my radio tuner, I'll pick the station But because I love you..we'll listen to your oldies...but only on this occasion. The drive is slow but it's so sunny It's like that outside when I'm with you, isn't that funny. I drop off this lady at the beginning of her driveway She grabs her mail and gives me a wave I'm driving away now and she's now at the door Mom....I hope you know there's no one I love more!
