He’ll probably say I told the story backwards I’ll tell it just the same He was wrapping presents for her Special and collectable Vinyl albums and fancy Vegan cookbooks I don’t know why I said it These are nice BUT I hope you bought something she would adore He sheepishly grinned Oh Yeah he said You see Mom I couldn’t wait I’ve given her the main gifts I had for her Last Sunday afternoon I blindfolded her Told her I was taking her to the country To Bell Buckle to do some Christmas shopping And to get some treats When I took off her blindfold She screamed like a little girl who got her wish All awhirl in her dream to see The Grinch On Ice that night She begged and begged me To take her to an ice skating show I kept saying ugh I don’t know so you know what It was worth every minute to see her happiness And also she had tried on a coat That she liked that looked so good on her But she didn’t want to pay that much So I went back and got it for her I couldn’t wait to give it to her I wanted her to wear it on our trip Mom I wanted her to be warm At that point I didn’t know what to say I was ashamed of myself for a moment But then I realized how wonderful it was To be witness to this lovely story The ways his eyes twinkled The passion in the way he spoke and In the way he gave to a patient caring nurse The young woman he cared so deeply for I knew he was a young man very much in love My tears decorate the telling of this tale I’m a proud mother Now if I can only get him to write some love poems And quit calling me at one am for recipes Such a brat that child of mine Merry Christmas Sam and E Hope you are having fun in DC Love From Mom ©bk2007 |
