Mama Tried

Ode to My Moma

Please allow me a minute on this special occassion

to honour My Moma

who deserves celebration.

My Moma is young and cool and fun,

loving and generous,

crafting handmade gifts for everyone.

She taught me to knit; the reason I rhyme

She passed on her talent

My Moma gave me her time.

When I couldn't remember how to knit one square inch,

it was due to her teaching

that relearning was a cinch.

I knit her some socks in order to say

I love you

on this My Moma's 30th Mother's Day.
