THIS LADY
A new wrinkle has shown upon her cheek
Her laugh lines as you can tell are not weak
She combs her hair in the mirror and then stands still
Confused this part of aging is all of Gods will
Remembering times when her skin was tight
Wedding photos of her in all white
Her head is still crazy and aged twenty
Tell that to her body as joint pains are plenty
No more short skirts and sexy heels
No more fast driving, she's now slow behind the wheel
She perks up her glasses or she can't see at all
Without them, she couldn't read, or surely have a fall
She now has to worry about all of her bones
And when you speak to her...jack up your tones
Yes, her hearing is fading and she wears this thing in her ear
Her image she dislikes and over it she sheds a tear
It's hard for her to tie even her shoelaces
Pretty soon will come different back braces
She uses this walker to get her around
Yes this is the person that I have found
She's this aging lady whom I will still love one day
She'll never really "change" to me, some things don't go away.
She's my best friend throughout life, she's my Mom
This will all happen to her slowly but not in one lumps sum
I'll slowly be looking at her in this light
It's over lunch I realize this as I take my last bite
This lady sitting across from me is really still young and pretty
Her humour is great, she's really quite witty
I have the greatest mom of everyone
Loving, gentle, kind and fun
I guess I see and know what is ahead
Ok...enough...let's get the bill...we're full and fed
Lunch was great mom, It's my turn, I'll pay
I love to be with you...you completely make my day
Don't be silly, I insist I pay for your meal
You grab next times bill, is that a deal?
We both head to the restroom...ya know...to freshen up a bit
I think I ate too much...it feels like my clothes don't fit
I wait for this lady who takes a quick peek in the reflective glass
She's beautiful, look at her, she has so much class
Hardly wrinkled, soft spoken and dainty
My role model, my mom...a perfect lady.
Great! You're done...grab my arm and let's leave
Hey mom..you forgot that ...that thing between your teeth.
What would you do without me, see how things have reversed
Isn't it funny how I needed you first
We walk out to my car and I get in last
She warns me to drive slow..not fast
Stop playing with my radio tuner, I'll pick the station
But because I love you..we'll listen to your oldies...but only on this occasion.
The drive is slow but it's so sunny
It's like that outside when I'm with you, isn't that funny.
I drop off this lady at the beginning of her driveway
She grabs her mail and gives me a wave
I'm driving away now and she's now at the door
Mom....I hope you know there's no one I love more!

| Sorry guys...I didn't mean to make anyone cry. I just wanted to write about how much she means to me. She's the MOST important person to me. Thanks for the comments though. Glad you liked it. Kleenex? |
