Thank You Mom

Thank you Mom, thanks for everything Thanks for tender wake up calls Thanks for perfect lunches Thanks for cream cheese and olives For enchilada casserole Thanks for Aslan and the Rings Thank you for house help For visits to the desert For begging to clean my room Thanks for phone calls For driving me to Traeger-Rosen For lunch at Draeger's For helping me For holding life out to me Thanks for your prayers For hiring doctors and buying vitamins For hoping and praying For fighting in court For blessing me, believing in me Thanks for collect calls from prison For working on the poems For prison visits, stamps and packages For tirelessly serving me so lovingly Thank you for always loving me Despite my moments of ingratitude I mean it now, I hope so You deserve it I remember your jumpsuits I remember your sweet worship songs How could I ever but appreciate you? Forgive me for taking you for granted Thank you Stephen Pursell, 6/04
