Mother’s Day Poem

Lollipops, Roses, and Denture Stick

Lollipops are my favorite candy. One was tasty, it melted into my denture. I was so serious checking my bank which is devastating. Then I tried to take my lollipop out my upper denture came out too. Not gross guys, it is a nice thing to chew ones food. I laughed out loud.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO EVERYONE!

Mother’s Day Poem

Morning light drifting easy through the room,

roses opening soft instead of carrying gloom.

A little laugh rising out of the blue,

cause life still finds ways to play with me too.

Life threw late fees, stress, and surprise,

but I laughed so hard tears filled my eyes.

’Cause mothers like me don’t fold or sway

we rise, we shine, we love anyway.

So, here’s to the women who carry the load,

who walk through storms on a payday road.

Happy Mother’s Day to the ones who stay,

even when the lollipop sticks the wrong way.

Sweet moments, silly moments, all shining through,

like a lollipop melting where it never meant to.

But still I rise, still I love, still I find my way

happy Mother’s Day to the ones who stay.
