Cute poem

Thank you Jessica (Mark's mommy) for sharing this:

Ask my Mommy how she is....

My Mom, she tells a lot of lies,

She never did before.

But from now until she dies,

She’ll tell a whole lot more.

Ask my Mom how she is

And because she can’t explain,

She will tell a little lie

Because she can’t describe the pain.

Ask my Mom how she is,

She’ll say “I’m alright.”

If that’s the truth, then tell me,

Why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mom how she is,

She seems to cope so well.

She didn’t have a choice you see,

Nor the strength to scream and yell.

Ask my Mom how she is,

“I’m fine, I’m well, I’m coping.”

For God’s sake Mom, just tell the truth,

Just say your heart is broken.

She’ll love me all her life,

And I loved her all of mine.

But if you ask her how she is,

She’ll lie and say she’s fine.

I am in Heaven.

I cannot hug her from here.

If she lies to you don’t listen.

Just hug her and hold her near.

And on the day we meet again,

I'll smile and I’ll be bold.

I’ll say, “You’re lucky to get in here, Mom,

With all the lies you told!”
