VALENTINE FOR MY MOTHER

Valentine's Day is this week--
Time passes faster every year.
We have our times of laughing,
And we have our times of tears.

They say we sound alike on
The phone, I guess that's true.
But what's really fun is when people think
We're sisters--we don't see it, others do.

We both miss Grandma and wish
She could be here, to talk to and
Play Canasta and to hug her tight.
Even just to hold her hand.

I am your youngest daughter--
We quarrel sometimes, it's true.
I do things left-handed, but from
Your perspective, that won't do.

We are friends as well as mother
And daughter--that bond and that
Love will never change at all.
Happy Valentine's Day from your brat.
