Happy Mother’s Day!

My mother loves her animals and me;

And, of course, my dad’s in there, too.

She shows her love quite unmistakably:

She pets us all, no matter what we do.

I haven’t sprouted yet a bushy tail,

Nor has my dad grown a toothy snout;

But I sometimes feel a critter in such detail

I pant and bark and scurry all about.

But I am glad my mother has a love

That cuts across the paths of innocence.

 

I know that her sweet feelings long will move

Me to appreciate her scents!
