Mother - Thank you 
for Easter eggs and Christmas trees 
bandages on skinned up knees 
for nursing colds and making beds 
pillows under sleepy heads 
for loving stray dogs, kittens, and birds 
laughing at jokes you've already heard 
for birthday cakes and toothfairy dimes 
for planning and sharing special times 
for playing tag and bagging lunches 
accepting mud pies and hugs in bunches 
for understanding puppy love pain 
high red boots for walking in rain 
for all these things and so much more 
the things I never said "thank you" for 
I love you!
