Dinner date with mom, Marina del Rey, California, 1988
You were always there for me
when no one else seemed to care.
You took time to really listen
to thoughts I had to share.
Your steadfast love still strengthens me
whether my battles are lost or won,
your words of wisdom still shine in my life
when clouds block out the sun.
And as I offer to you, mom,
my expressions of love and praise,
I know Heaven too honors you
for your kind and thoughtful ways.
All my love,
Forever your son,
Dedicated to Mrs. Rosie Marcella Nicholas
