A Mother’s Day poem by Ron “RadioRon” Stelse

My Mother

I didn’t have a choice

In selecting a mother

But if I did have a choice

I would choose no other. 

 

If I stole some cookies

She’d wink and smile

And I’d say to myself

“I think I’ll keep her awhile.


On this Mother’s day

After thinking it through

I’ll walk right up to her

And say, “Mom, I love only you.”
