I stole this.

Why My Mom Lies 

Ask my Mom how she is

My mom, she tells a lot of lies

she never did before

but from now until she dies

she'll tell a whole lot more

Ask my mom how she is

and because she cannot explain

she will tell a little lie

Because she cannot describe the pain

Ask my mom how she is

She'll say 'I'm alright'

if that's the truth

then tell me why does she cry each night

Ask my mom how she is

she seems to cope so well

she didn't have a choice you see

Nor the strength to yell

Ask my mom how she is

"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping"

For God's sake mom just tell the truth

Just say your heart is broken

She'll love me all her life

I loved her all of mine

But if you ask her how she is

She'll lie and say I'm fine

I am here in heaven

I cannot hug from here

If she lies - don't listen

Hug her and hold her near

On the day we meet again

We'll smile and I'll be bold

I'll say your're lucky to get in here mom,

With all the lies you told.


I stole this off another Mom's blog.
(I am sure she won't press charges) I liked it.
The end was my very favorite though. I can see Gavin saying
that to me with his cute little face
(he would squint his eyes a little when
he thought he was being clever.) And that is the face I see in
my mind when I read the last lines of this poem.

Haha. He's going to also have to say he's surprised you made it there with the stealing you're doing too. ;) I admit I also stole this poem and sent it off in an email. Hopefully Bridget and Dominic will let me in when I get there. ;)
