Mother's Day Bites

My oldest son wrote me a sonnet.

Oh, Mother, Oh

Paul Willis

Oh, mother, oh

How I love you from head to toe

Ever since you were little

I would never change you, okay, maybe a little

You have always cared for me

You fed me and hugged me and more

Good thing you didn’t name me Lee

But you are something that can’t be bought at a store

Yes, you stress me out

OR make me want to pull my hair

But there is no doubt

Of how I care

Oh, Mother, Oh

How I love you from head to toe
