to Lois

by Michele Schottelkorb

that day in June, i met your eyes
you smiled at me, no need for lies
arms held outstretched, welcoming me
you gave me a chance, you grew a tree
love from the start, no questions asked
to your son be true, my only task
blessings bestowed upon our lives
dedication and trust from sky-blue eyes
your grand-daughter came into this world
you stayed with me, nurtured me, lessons told
no matter what, an ear to lend
always there, for our family to mend
my wedding day, to your precious boy
you dressed me up, made my perfect day a joy
countless acts of kindness you give to me
listen and advise and teach me to be free
how can i repay the special love you've given
my mother, an angel, sent straight from heaven
i tell you today and every day after
thank you, oh thank you, for love and for laughter
i love you, mom, with all of my heart
i've loved you, everyday, right from the start
