My mom...who took care of my newborn baby while I was in college. I was gone 4 days a week and she was there, I'm sure the last thing she needed was watching a newborn...

My mom...who got up at 4 AM when I was a kid because I forgot I need 36 cupcakes for school next day....


My mom who actually built me a playhouse...crooked roof and all...


I love you mom

I Call You "Ma," Though You Are Not My Mother

Copyright by Nicholas Gordon


I call you "Ma," though you are not my mother,
But more a ma than any ma could be.
I've come to love you more than any other;
You took me in your charge and set me free.
You let me run and kissed me when I fell;
You kept your eyes on me and let me stray.
I learned things hard, which means I learned them well,
And got to know myself along the way.
My hope and faith and pride are all from you.
My roots are in your heart; you are my home.
You will be part of everything I do,
In all my thoughts a wise and lovely poem.
For all our lives we'll have this common ground:
You were my rock when else I would have drowned.
