From day one
From the very beginning
You were always there
Smiling back
After you crack the broomstick over my head
From your bed I came into the world
You smiled and said
“Oh shit”
And knew I was trouble
From the start
From the window you watched
As I stole the old man’s car
And said nothing
Nothing at all
She knew he’d bring donuts back or die
From between the sheets another had come
A weasel and a cheat
Who he had tried to trade on the corner for a sweet
But she caught him
Then beat him with a side of beef
From dark filled alleys
She wandered filthy streets
Searching for me
Looking to see if I was alive and still fat
Probably to beat me with another baseball bat
From the depths of hell
Dieing on the floor
Armed with only a spoon of caster oil
A slap upside the head
She brought me back to fuck up again
From where I began
To where I am
I walked through hell without a care
With an angel on my shoulder
Swinging big stick at my head
Happy Mother’s day Mom
I want to wish all the Mothers, Aunts and anyone doing double duty a Happy Mother’s Day.

Walker: In your defense, I know you have a heart of Gold for the children who have appeared on my site with brain cancer over the past 3 years. But I salute you for recognizing that we would be nowhere without great Mom's. Mine just mailed me a frying pan because she didn't like the way the old one looked on her April visit. OPA! :)
Well, now, that's one heck of a Mother's Day poem. NO Hallmark from you and I wouldn't think it otherwise.
Yeah, like Michael, I know you have a great big mushy heart!! And, thanks for the Mother's Day wishes, Walker. :)
You sure have kept Mom busy over the years... BUT... all those whacks to the head might explain things a bit.
Thanks for the mother's day wishes! I guess you read about my mother's day. I really know what your mom went through! Now you're making up for it all.
