A sweet post of love for Mommy

Father and Florence, with conniving teamwork, converged in Florence's room to hurry up and post this happy mother's day post while Mom is upstairs looking at my blog. (Dad comes running down the stairs: "Now is our chance! She's reading your post with all the questions and answers! Quickly post before she loses interest!")

A song written by Dad for Mom in 2004

When we first met
I fell from the start
I fell for your smile
And your wide-open heart

You invited me in
And I came to stay
I fell for you then
And I'm falling today.

Years flew on by
A baby down the road
I watched as you held her
As treasures of gold.

And after long days
We'd sit in moonlight
Sip our cheap drinks
And CENSORED TO PROTECT THE SANITY OF THE OFFSPRING in the night

Yes, there were some hard years
I will not deny
Our love was sore tested
There were nights when we cried

But through all those hardships
Frustrations and tears
You never forsook me,
But stuck through the years.

And now, a lot older
Through right and through wrong
You're one thing I have
That's stayed true all along

One leap in my life
That I'll gladly replay
Was when I fell for you then,
And I'm still falling today.
