Just Her Way

She has a way about her
I've seen it all my life,
makes me smile, forever after;

she turns a charming phrase
I don't know what it is,
but it can leave you in quite a daze.

She makes life, worthwhile
I can't explain the fact,
she does it all with a knowing smile;

and she makes me smile like no other
and I can't say why it is,
but I'm happy that she's my mother.

Hers is a soul that's free
and in my times of drought,
she's always been right there, for me;

she has a grace from up above
and I know this much is true,
'cause everything she does is packed with love.....it's just her way.

Dear Doc

I love a poem that speaks of love about a mum, dad. It shows how caring and appreciative we are, and no matter what we as children, are about, they are always there for us. Most anyway, some do not know what they have got. Mums are treasure. I am going to pm you right now okay. Love Lyz. XX

Thanks Lyz....

...it's kinda like a "universal truth", that you speak of. My Mum, as I'm very sure that YOUR Mum...is quite the "keeper"....that's it, in a nutshell. Thanks for reading...and for your insight, as well. It's greatly appreciated, Lyz. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.
