She was a special kind of mom <br />She worked hard for her family <br />How I loved her beautiful smile <br />That seemed especially for me <br /> <br />Life wasn’t always easy of course <br />But somehow she found a way <br />After the evening work was done <br />We would all sit down to play <br /> <br />For pinochle was a game <br />Mom enjoyed with all of us <br />I can see her sitting there so plainly <br />With her sweet smile so generous <br /> <br />And as the memories flood back <br />On this Mother’s Day <br />Oh how I wish I could deal the cards <br />So pinochle we could once again play <br /> <br />But nothing lasts forever <br />And I know she isn’t here <br />But in my heart and memories <br />She seems so very near!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-special-kind-of-mom/
