Beware: This May Be Your Mother
By: Latosha Franklin from Northwest

This is an All-Points-Bulletin
Be on the look out for a woman approximately
20 to 30 years your senior.

She may be carrying a belt or a wooden spoon in her oversized handbag.
Now, don’t be alarmed and don’t run for cover,
This woman may very well be your mother.
If she’s ever braided your hair so tight that you looked surprised all day long,
She may be your mother.

If you ever had to endure wardrobe readjustments in front of your friends at the bus stop
The culprit may just be your mother.

If you ever had to wear a sailor suit for your class picture,
The woman responsible for this heinous act may be your mother.

If she tortured you by sitting and watching to make sure you ate your most hated food,
You can be sure that this woman is your mother.

If she ever almost came to blows with another woman over whose kid hit who first,
She might be your mother.

If she ever chaperoned your first date
This traumatic experience may have been caused
By your mother.

If she ever caught you smoking and beat you with her shoe,
Then she’s definitely…my mother
However…
If she ever stayed up all night with you because you had a fever,

Or sat and watched cartoons with you on Saturday mornings,

Or let you keep your favorite stuffed animal when she gave all the other ones away,

Or let you sleep in her bed during a storm,

Or let you lick the spoon,

Or took you to church and taught you how to pray,

She may be your mother.

If you see this woman, call a florist, call a candy maker, and call Jesus
And tell HIM , thank you for this lady
And while you’re at it, don’t forget to tell her you love her.
Rise up and call her blessed
Because this woman is your Mother.
