There is a person among us with an
unbeatable resume
She’s a nurse, a doctor, a vet and a shrink
I often see her coach, teach,
chauffeur and cheer
She is a fortune teller
And a professor of history
She can play a good cop or a bad cop
And not be seen as taking sides
She is your most worthy critic
And your staunchest advocate
If you could find someone you could
trust more
You have spanned the threshold to Nirvana
Her simple sandwich cannot be
duplicated
And her kitchen dually serves as a
confessional
You will never find a better guide
A more welcoming lighthouse
Or a better pillow
She could requisition a fortune
Yet she lives only for love
And from atop the mountain
She thinks that you are the best
Happy Mother’s Day
