Mommo

Once upon a time, there was a lady…

Who gave me a love for angels that will stay with me all my life!

Who made magic in mirrors and dinner for five when she only counted on two.

Who made me believe that the maple candy in the tin came from the maple trees in the front yard

that I “tapped” with thumb tacks and a little sand box bucket, with the help of

Connie and Susie and Mark and Jim and all my childhood friends.

Who let me make believe that the petticoat on my head made me look like I had long blonde hair.

Who played word games for hours on end with me and my friends when it rained out doors.

Who I miss like flowers miss the rain.

I have grand children of my own now, I am not a “Mommo”,

there was only one, but someday, when I see her again,

I want to tell her, “they all love word games and they all know YOU!

Knowing her like I did, I do believe there are

“Angels Among Us” because she was “sent down to us,

from somewhere up above”.

Now that she is home, there are more “angels among us”

because she was here with us… once upon a time.
