It would be so nice
If I could remember
Those little games
Mom and I played
Together
Back when I
Was a little babe.
I just know
One game we played
Had to be
The little pigs
Going to the market.
I can picture
Her touching
My big toe while saying
This is the big pig
And he didn't cry
On the way home.
When she reached
My little toe
I bet she smiled
When she said
This is the
Little piggy
And he cried
All the way home.
I also can picture
The smile of love
I had on my face.
Thanks Mom for being there.
