On Marriage and Mothers

 To my husband:

We met 44 years ago,

hooked up at the Valentine's Dance.

Your date showed up a bit too late.

(Boo hoo.) She blew it...missed her chance.

But that's okay. Yes, that's all right.

Cuz I sure made the most of mine.

I'm 60 and you're 62.

But you still make my stars align.

Hoo-wee! You're one hot valentine!!

For my mom:

My mother loves me oh-so-well.

I love her more than words can tell.

She's 85 and going strong.

Her gifts to me have been lifelong.

Of mothering, she made an art.

Mom taught me how to use my heart.

She raised me up and set me free

to be the best that I could be.

(Her secret? She believed in me.)

∞§∞

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

I surely did.

And lots of love to my kids and grandkids, too!
