Mother's Day 2012

by Joan Serratelli

I woke up early
as usual.
I went into
the kitchen
and found it there
the dress I wanted
He bought it for me

I love it!
I'll wear it
this week
(with a cap sleeve top)
in the summer
(with a tank top)
I'm probably going to
wear it on my birthday
(with an appropriate top)

I will wear it
in the Fall
(with a long sleeve top)

I will wear it
in the winter
(with a light sweater)
and tights

I love this dress
It's the dress
I wanted
I'll be the FIRST
to say it
I am a HORRIBLE
clothes horse
I love clothes...
But... I love you
...MORE!

And everytime
I wear it
I will remember
that you bought it
for me
Not because I
NEEDED it
simply because
I wanted it
and you knew
it would make
me happy.

The card was
very fitting
I will always
cherish it

But what I really
CHERISH is you

We have been through
alot
We are still together
after(ALMOST) 45 years

I think that
says it all

You could have
other woman
but I'm STILL here
I still love you
Yes, we have our
ups and downs

but we are still together
...and we always will be

Author's Note: My Mother's Day dress was waiting for me this morning. AGAIN- I hardly need more clothes, but he knew I REALLY wanted this jumper dress...and it meant the world to me that he bought it. I could not have gotten a more thoughful present! ...and for once; a happy little poem. BTW- HAVE A GREAT MOTHER'S DAY!

Joan. Yes, Happy Mother's Day! My Mother's Day was quiet...surreal, with both my parents now gone, and girlfriend recently moved out...but I ain't complaining. I've been longing for the serenity. :)

Oops, I meant to say, nice to read something so positive from you Joan, but I guess I cut off the first part.
