Ode To Mothers
I once had a mother with long black hair
Her eyes were blue/green, her skin so fair
She left me when I was but a wee lass
I was sad but remembered, 'This, too, shall pass'
She never was happy on this old earth
She never danced or had joy or mirth
Never using her talents, if any she had
Always seeming to be so very sad
At eight years of age she went out of my life
Went across country to be someone's wife
Sent me to live in a house with my dad
And a step mom that was mean and bad
Is it any wonder I don't celebrate this day?
This day dedicated to mothers in every way
Well, I raise my glass to all mothers as a salute
And to mine say I, 'bend over I give you my boot.
