I finally get to go on

a vacation so I am going to have my sister fill in for me. She has a tendency to get a bit strange so if her posts are a little too much off the wall please just laugh and be understanding. For Mother's Day we gave our mom a poem that we didn't write. I have a feeling that we inspired it though. Here it is:

Mom -

Today is Mother's Day,
And it gives me the chance to say,

That you mean more to me,
Than water and sunlight to a tree.

More than a goat, a lion or cat,
More than a zebra but less than a bat.

I want you to know how much it means,
To have your hugs in the back pocket of my jeans.

My jeans are loose and a little too long,
I've never washed them. I'm good at ping pong.

There's the "I'm proud of you" hugs that make all my hard work worthwhile.
There's the "I'm so happy to see you" hugs that always bring a smile.

There's the "goodnight" hugs that help me sleep tight.
There's the "I'm here for you" hugs that let me know everything will be alright.

There's a hug for the human that sits in a chair.
And there's a hug for people who care for their hair.

A hug for you when you think you're real funny.
A hug for the craps table when I lose all my money.

A hug for hugs sake, for people and soup.
A hug for the newspaper that gets the big scoop.

On this special day, I offer you my deepest love,
I hope you can feel it with this one big hug.

Keep this hug in the back pocket of your jeans,
Then you'll know what having your love means.
