Memories of My Mother

Play Irish Lullaby music... click here!

black-red wispy hair
snuggling in the big rocking chair
singing lullabys to me
at 3 in the morning

'Wow! your mom's the coolest'
sugar cereal and hugs for breafast
dancing and rollerskating with ease
why was I embarrassed?

black fur coat as soft as silk
windsong perfume
Jonie Griggens exercise tape
lemon endust saturday mornings

The laugh that wouldn't stop
silly pranks with shaving cream
birthday cakes for everyone
thermos full of coffee

Read the bible every morning
putting face on in the bathroom
dangling earings all with meaning
smile to light up a room

Softball night with the girls
church counsel and volunteer
biking and tennis out with Dad
Traveling around the world


I'll never understand how a woman so strong can loose a battle with alcohol. I love you, mom, and will always remember the real you.
Love, your princess
