I want to be kind to everyone,
For that is right, you see!
So I say to myself, “Remember this…
Kindness begins with me!”
-from a favourite
childhood song by Clara W. McMaster
My Mom was the sweet soul of kindness,
She helped everyone that she’d see,
With cooking or cleaning or baking or gleaning…
She was an example to me.
If we kids started in with our fighting,
She’d start singing her favourite song,
Even caught in the fight, there was nothing else right…
Except to start singing along.
When Big Brother got into some mischief,
She chased him about with the broom,
Rebuke turned to glee—no ‘swattage’ for he…
And happiness replaced the gloom!
People are known for their talents,
Athletes, or writers and more,
There are all kinds of fame, people cheering their name…
Mom’s kindness is what I cheer for.

| This month's Theme: Kindness |
Karen asks, "Write for me, please?"
We write because she's the Bee's Knees!
And we love her, you know that’s true,
So this is what we writers do . . .
We craft a poem based on a theme,
With pencils, sharp, and eyes agleam,
Each month we write and have such fun
We can't wait for another one,
Sooo...this month, how well did I do?
Please go and see the others, too:
The song: Kindness Begins with Me. Mom's and my favourite!
(It repeats three times...)
Ah, I see that the apple does not fall far from the tree!
ReplyDeleteCan't think of a more beautiful thing to remember your mother for.
ReplyDeleteOur world could use so much more kindness and we need more people like your Mom. And look at the fine people she raised. This song was new to me.
ReplyDeleteLovely remembrance. <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely legacy she left!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely!
ReplyDeleteHello Blog Admin and anyone reading this , I was diagnosed of herpes and Hiv at the age of 24, and it runs my life until I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center- thankfully after drinking Dr itua herbal medicines for two weeks I'm completely cured which really helped me now I've had no limit how much I do massively. I had two jobs, one full time and one part time, have my horse to care for and would also help friends with their horses. Have since had to accept that I only have one job (to take care of my health) and still care for my horse with help... Dr Itua also cures all sorts of chronic illness and diseases like Herpes,Hiv/Aids,Cancer,Kidney Disease,Liver Diseases,Hepatitis,Lupus,HPV,Diabetes,COPD, And other health conditions anyone may have in their body. Dr Itua uses his herbal medicineTo cure those diseases.
