Thank You Dear Mom Poem by Gregory Huyette

How can I thank you for all you've done?
No doubt I'm the luckiest son
Who ever walked on the face of the earth.
You've shown me love and what I'm worth.

All that I am I owe to you
Who guided me gently when all was new.
Seven up and a glass straw when I wasn't well.
Your bandage and a kiss whenever I fell.
Your great cooking deserves the world's first prize.
Especially those cookies and homemade french fries.

I remember your tears, mostly of joy.
My eyes are now moist as your little boy
Is still learning to give as you taught me to.
I'm at peace with the world because of you.

You're beautiful in all ways as all can see.
You're everything any mother ever could be.
Every day I think of you and say gratefully,
'Thank you, dear Mom for having me.'
