Dress up, dolls, <br />A fake string of pearls, <br />My mother you have always <br />Made up my world. <br />My idol, my teacher, <br />My comrade, my friend, <br />Always there for heartache <br />And games of pretend. <br />Road trips, shopping <br />Baking cookies for Santa, <br />I could not have asked <br />For a mother better. <br /> <br />I want you to know <br />How much you mean to me <br />You are special, I love you <br />And I want you to see <br />I would never for the world <br />Trade you for another <br />My idol, my friend, <br />My teacher, my mother<br /><br />Eli J Tod<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-s-day-poem-06/
