To Mothers

Happy thoughts fill my mind and heart

As I look at the rising sun

Playing with colors of red and blue

Of mothers who have come and gone

Who sang to us while we slept

And smiled as we were awake

Filling us with love full and free

I close my eyes hearing the rhythm

Of past songs sung by past singers

Now too old to carry a tune

But I still sway hearing them sing

My old feet dancing as I listen

To the songs that time almost forgot

Smiling to the happy thoughts they bring
