Large, Strong Hearts Required (In Honor Of Mother's Day) Poem by Debora Short

Large, Strong Hearts Required (In Honor Of Mother's Day)

Rating: 2.2


(For: All moms’ most precious memories)

Delightedly,
He races out to pick
Juicy red
Homegrown
Tomatoes
As I snip bits of
Fresh basil and oregano
“And, now what mom”,
He asks
(Just one
Of his now
Thirty-two questions
This morning)
Well, we will need
A great recipe
Let us give this a try…
***1 cup of warm and sunny days
To tend our garden of love
***1 package of
“Hugs and Kisses”
Brand fertilizer
to cultivate
Those most prized tiny seeds
Do note: Large strong hearts required
(Fair warning…love
May double, even triple in size)
***kiss, kiss, kisskiss, kiss, kisskiss, kiss, kisskiss, kiss, kiss
When we mix these all together
We create a yummy
Pizza dough
Topped with delicious
Homegrown
Memories
And a
Lifetime embraced
With all that is truly
Dear and treasured
