Many decades in the past

When I was just a little boy

I was such a curious lad

And eating brought me heaps of joy

πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”

Mother was so young and beautiful

She cooked us burgers topped with cheese

Juicy and delightful

A feast that always pleased

πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”

In Conversations with my friends

We spoke highly of those tasty bites

Soda and cheeseburgers made us happy to the end

Oh how much we loved them such an afternoon delight

πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”

Our appetites were whetted

Mother knew what pleased our taste

No one ever regretted

Those burgers we embraced

πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”

When we finished our meal

We graciously thanked my mom

With love, she sealed the deal

β€œThe burgers were the bomb”

πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”

Now I am an adult

And I think of Mama's burgers

With the tasty result

Of her love and of her nurture

πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”

The happy boy inside me

Has fond memories of my mommy

Her thoughtful caring looks

And the burgers that she cooked

πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”πŸ”

Photo of my mom back in 1965 when she cooked us those tasty burgers!!!

With Love, RHC ❀️
