Laying them flat and straight getting out all creases
Then putting them together and sewing them just right
Making sure it fits you well and isn’t way too tight
Many are the patterns from which there are to view
Of all of those examples and from heroes there are few
But the one that stands out most to me who is a soothing balm
She is the most amazing and turns out to be my mom
Our memories of how I grew are not the same you see
She sees them very differently and not at all like me
I think I’ll introduce her to herself and make her view
The mother I love so much from the only one I knew
She would say that often was the time she’d have a fit
I remember all her laughter, silliness and wit
She remembers hollering as if she had a spasm
I thought her arms were flying out from all enthusiasm
Many were the times that we danced on her last nerves
I thought that she was dancing too if my memory serves
Her face could get quite scarlet red and later I would learn
It was not from the out of doors or getting a sunburn
Never was the time I went to bed scared and afraid
Her pattern was a perfect fit from all that she had made
I love her smell, her look, her hands, especially her touch
This is the mom that I recall, the one I love so much
I wish she understood that I thought of her sublime
Instead of seeing herself as just a Frankenstein
She wasn’t oddly sewn in pieces of ol' plain scrap
She came all put together from God’s very own lap
Cutting out a pattern from pinning all the pieces
Laying them flat and straight getting out all creases
Then putting them together and sewing them just right
She was the perfect fit and was beauty in my sight!
