The Greatest Gift
She never sang to me
But that's okay, she wan't much of a singer.
Instead she tucked me in
and offered me wishes of sweet dreams
If I didn't dream sweetly as she wished,
She was still there by my side.
"Its alright. Its all right."
Skip. Skip ahead.
Her sisters sang at Christmas time.
The song by the Haynes'.
None of them can sing either,
But she laughs and joins in.
I didn't notice,
But now I know.
She did the show for me
So I could smile too.
Of course I made mistakes
She would sometimes turn red
Although discipline seemed unfair to me
She stuck with it.
I never knew until now
Everything was meant to help
And even though I'm grown now,
I can't wait to return home to her.
Mom.
