REMINDER

 

 

 

 

I may be a century in age     

But I am still Mom

And Mom always knows best.

 

You may be of golden or diamond jubilee

But to my eyes you are still that child

I nursed from nothing.

 

Don’t take me wrong

For children never grow in the eyes of Mom

And Mom still knows best.

 

I may not be wiping your nose anymore

For you might be doing it to me instead

But you are still a child to Mom.

 

You may be well learned

Compared to Mom,

But Mom still has invaluable insight.

 

It’s the nature of life and nothing can change it.

Your turn will come and you’ll feel the same

For nature stated so since days of yore.
