Happy Mums Day! Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

The rule of thumb
Says you're my mum
You say you can't
Be a cry-sant(h)

That's right! You're not
Grown in a pot
But sweet you smell
Pretty as well

Years have gone by
What's changed? Oh my!
Nothin's the same
A whole different game

A little older
A little bolder
You're much more wise
Much softer eyes

You like to kid
‘Bout what you did
You love to share
‘N you always care

We feel so blessed
You gave your best
To all your clan
Each one began

Their lives on track
You had a knack
A way of giving
A way of living

You're an example
And you gave ample
Advice to us
Yes, we could trust

Your every word
We felt assured
That-if we complied
We'd all get by


See what you've done?
There's more than one
Here of your brood
That gives gratitude

For what you gave him
Our home's a haven
Because of you
And a refuge too

A big thank you
From one who loves you:
A sprout that's grown
In your very own home

Mum, you gave seeds
Pulled out the weeds
So we'd be strong
Taught right from wrong

Our time to grow
And then we'll show
That good seeds bloom
Just give them room

You gave us space
To run the race
Now check the time
We crossed the (finish)line.
