Everything Mom

  How did you find the energy, Mom

    To do all the things you did,

   To be a teacher, nurse, and counselor

      To me, when I was a kid.

     How did you do it all, Mom,

    Be a chauffeur, cook, and friend,

    Yet find time to be a playmate,

       I just can't comprehend.

     I see now it was love, Mom

 That made you come whenever I'd call.   

   Your inexhaustible love, Mom

      And I thank you for it all.
