TO MOMMY JUNE 12, 1998 Carol, if you remember, I never liked to see you sad Carol, if you do remember, You much remember, All of the fun times That I have had Carol, if you remember, Remember the days and the years When you rushed out to work And I was leisurely selecting My first sun sleeping spot Of my long, restful day Remember the days and the years Of you cuddling and spoiling me So much more, so much more, Than I ever, ever deserved Remember the days and the years Of my elegant and sumptuous meals: Broasted chicken, ice cream, steaks, And PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! All for me, all for just me Remember the days and the years Of your forgiving and unconditional love That I was so lucky To receive from you Remember the days and the years Of my blessed life with you Remember the days and the years Of other things in my life That I was so lucky to receive: Like everyones love Like Toms long rubs, Like Checkers embrace, Like play-fighting with Rob, Like Siobhans warm love, Like the sound of the birds, Like the feel of a summers breeze, Like the smell of the flowers, Like a warm, cozy fire, On a long winters night Like your special love, So strong, pure, and forgiving As only a Mothers can be But, also remember the hard days and the short years, Of the non-worthy, one Ratty-Cat Who died so young, who died so old, Without your protection, not so lucky, like me Remember, if God made a heaven For lowly creatures like Man He must have made a place just for me. Carol, if you remember, I never like to see you sad Carol, if you remember, You MUST only remember, All of the fun times That we had Love, P.S. Have fun! (Andys pawprint) Andy
