For Mom, with Love

I'm a little turned around with Jenny's Saturday Centus this week, but better late than never, right? (We were able to add our usual 100 words to the prompt, highlighted in red below.)

For Mom, with Love

(Windy City Style)

©2012 Susan Noyes Anderson

Mother's Day is for you.

Thanks for all that you do.

By your hands, we've been blessed;

now we give you our best.

We will strive all the while

to release your bright smile.

Till the sand leaves the sea,

willing slaves we shall be.

Truly, it is our pleasure

to serve at your leisure.

No matter the need,

count it yours, guaranteed.

We are at your command.

Mom, your wildest demand

must be our do-or-die.

In this, we don't lie.

* From the cubs in your lair,

to our sweet mama bear:

Just don't get in the way

when Da Bears start to play.

It's short, accessible, and uniquely lovely. 

Don't miss it or you will do yourself a disservice.
