She knew how to drive a tractor <br />And how to hitch a plow… <br />She fed the chicks and milked the cows <br />Her cheeks were rosy; she was proud <br /> <br />Although she did not wear diamonds or mink <br />In my opinion… she had a wonderful look <br />From the basics she was a masterful cook <br />In winter months she crocheted with a hook <br /> <br />Even if times were hard, she managed a smile <br />To her family, her arms always opened wide <br />As we walked in the garden of life side by side <br />I knew she was the best mother ever… worldwide <br /> <br />2/8/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-53/
