You are the arms
That wrap around me
Before I leave the house.
You are the wet Carmex kisses
That fill my cheeks
And leave a certain smell lingering.
You are the Juniper Breeze lotion
That keeps your hands from cracking.

You are the chicken noodle soup aroma
That fills the house.
You are the fresh baked brownies
That fill everyone’s stomach after dinner.

You are the hard worker
Who never does a half-job.
You are the picture taker,
Who always wants to cherish memories.
You are the glue to our family
Who keeps everyone in line.

Thank you Mom,
For everything you are.
