I’m always amazed by her energy
Constant buzz and laughter
Follow her trail
Engaging with people, far and wide
At work or in the neighbourhood
At random parties or over travels
Picking up with ease, conversations that
Usually lead to caring friendships
And years of small everyday gifts
Making time to visit the sick and the aged
Over weekends, when most of us
Would prefer to laze and recover
Treating everyone with the same
Friendly warmth and even blunt talking-to
Prince or pauper, it doesn’t matter what they do
She’s taught me to live life
On my own terms, and reach out
No matter how much I work
Her philosophy is simple and tough
You’ve got one life, now make it work
With grace and a smile, even when you hurt
You never know who you’ll meet
And if they’re in deeper trouble
Compared to your usual whine
So count yourself blessed, everyday
To have a home and a family
And food and wine too
Don’t forget to share, yourself
That’s the path to the divine
Who tests your mettle, with misfortunes few
That doesn’t mean you forget
You’re loved too.
Thank you mom, I love you.
