You were "Mommy"
when I was tiny.
You loved me
though I was whiny.
Then you became "Mom"
as I got older.
I rolled my eyes
and shrugged my shoulder.
Your love for me
was still there
despite my hormones
and teenage-death-stare.
Then you became "Patzy"
when I married Joe.
Enduring his flatulence -
you go with the flow.
Now you're "Grandma"
to my two daughters.
You've loved them
before they were talkers.
I love you, Mom,
you are the best.
Because you are my Mom
I feel blessed.
Happy Mother's Day!
