TO MOM
WHO LOVED OUR FATHER,
WHO BORE US, NURSED AND DIAPERED US,
WHO COOKED AND CLEANED AND WASHED FOR US,
WHO TAUGHT AND DISCIPLINED US,
WHO TOLERATED OUR BOYISH FOOLISHNESS AND NAKEDNESS,
WHO ALLOWED US TO GO BAREFOOT IN THE SUMMER,
WHO COULD OUTRUN US,
WHO LET US GO HUNTING,
WHO ATTENDED EVERY FOOTBALL GAME, AT HOME OR AWAY,
AND WHO, I AM SURE, PRAYED FOR US WHEN WE WERE ALL OVERSEAS
This took a couple tears
