I Fondly Remember

I fondly remember stories you told

Of Mother Goose and Humpty Dumpty, too;

The words you read - a kiss - awoke my soul,

The moments spent with you were far too few.

Remember when I plead, "Oh, please say, 'No'"

Because I was afraid to leave your side?

To friends I said, "My mom won't let me go,"

With eyes all puffy red, they knew I lied.

I remember when my secret you found

And to you I lied to cover my shame;

I'll never forget how then I was bound

To make the lie the truth, remove the stain.

Of what I am today you had a say
Thanks for the memories, Happy Mother's Day.
