Mom Margie! Life-celebration! (Part 10 of 17)

 Happy Mother’s Day!
(May 12, 2019)
 
Your example instilled in me---worthy-values…sacred-virtues!
You taught me: Love! Honor! Respect! Charity! Kindness! Courage!
Your crown-gleams as you had only a Rebel! Rascal! Rogue! To-fashion!
 
My sacred-mantra derived from you: Faith! Family! Freedom!
Such trinity has served me well over seven-decades! Thank-you!
 
Only His-Truth! Can stand any scrutiny! “Knowledge” is supreme!
Give your-word sparingly---in important-conclusions and…forever keep-it!
 
I always had the prettiest-Mom! Great culinary-delights! An impeccable-home!
Mom could do-it-all! Drive a car with “no”-brakes! Keep us safe and healthy!
Cherry-custard pie! Lemon with 3”-meraingue! Chocolate! Southern-fried chicken!
I resulted a focused Independent-Individual!---born-of-Liberty!...concluding-Freedom!
 
I seem to be exceedingly-blessed!---nothing new…I have  lived a charmed-life!
I reckon I had parents like most kids prayed for---and…kids like my parents wanted.
 
Each dawn I awaken to awesome golden-sunshine!---My-world!...My-choice!
Anyone can sing in the sunshine!---I can…dance in rain, sleet, storms, beauty-snow!
Complaining is like worry & fear!---“Futile!”…such steals precious-life and creativity!
 
Life is a determination of your-choices!---Want a Great-conclusion?...Choose-wisely!
 
Mom and Dad taught me myriad-truths; I “Thank-you!
 
Good-enough is absent-effort!
Better ignites sacred-ambition!
Best celebrates Supreme-success!
 
Live! Love! Laugh! Focus-contemplate!
Vigilant-be! No-one’s future is ever-late!
 
Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
 
When all has “been” and “is” and “come”
And, someone faux-tallies up a total-sum
I have delicious-tasted Life-Sweet-Love! Yum!
Amen!
 
Happy Mother’s Day!---Thanks! Mom!...I love you! Mom!
Your-son, Carl (ole Billy-Bob sends his love, too!)
Happy Birthday! Mom!
