Poetry on Mother's Day

I wrote Mom a note for Mother's Day explaining her present, and realized after a while that it sounded a lot like a poem. So I rewrote it a bit and reformatted it to look like a poem, and thought I would share. :-)

A Gift

This Mother’s Day
I will make anything
you ask for.
Chocolate cake or
Sweaters or
An acre of peach lace.
(If you want a project, I will have it done
By Christmas.)
I can’t buy you
Just anything
But I still have time
And today
This Mother’s Day
Your present from me
Is time.

And in case you're wondering, she plumped for this sweater, in cardigan form.  I heart Anne Hanson designs :-)
