Mom Playing the Dulcimer
Memories of my childhood take me
back to an old country road.
Down by a stream searching for
tadpoles.
In the distance I hear the sound of
the dinner bell ringing.
My mom's way of getting me back home
as I was usually out of sight.
On the way I could find Bluebell
flowers growing wild to take home to her.
I remember one day I got active in
digging up a wagon load of those Bluebells to replant close to the house.
To my surprise years later when I
had returned home for a visit the hill where I planted that wagonload of
Bluebells was now covered with many of them.
Now I am grown and moved quite away from my parents and
boyhood days, but in my heart I still hear that old dinner bell ringing in
the distance.
It gives me a secure feeling that home isn't
that far away and waiting there is a loving mother with loving arms.
Mother You filled my days with rainbow
lights,
fairytales and sweet dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
A Loving heart to ease my fears.
You gave the gift of life to me,
And then in love, you set me free.
I thank you for your tender care,
for deep warm hugs and being there.
I hope that when you think of me,
A part of you, you'll always see.
