From My Daughter

Today, my daughter came home and showed me an assignment she got an "A" on.  I had no idea she had written it and I have no memory of this old photo of me.  I think it is a pretty awesome Mother's Day gift!

 

Mom

In this photo you see a young woman

From her smile you can see she's happy and cheerful

Friendly and inviting is her glow

Posing for a shot in front of a building

But what you can't see is much more interesting

 

She is a young mother, my mother in fact

With a child as crazy as they come

But she loves none the less

For she was told she could never have me, but she made sure she did

Even if it took seven years of failing

She did succeed

 

She has taught me much

To care and understand

To love to read

To think things through, and to observe

Enjoy nature and see the beauty in everything and one

To read one's face, and discover their personalities and their intentions by their actions

Be a friend to all, no matter what age, race or social status

 

She's a pastor

A preacher of the gospel

Spreading the good word to all who lend an ear

Though being a preacher isn't a walk in the park

Not all churches like everything in the Good Book

They want to bend it to fit their intentions

But you must stop their twisting and turning and say it as it is

 

She's an artist

She makes jewelry of all sorts

Scrapbook pages, book, and cards

She has an eye for photography

Drawing, painting, creating, she has the skill of it all

For she is my mother
