I started listing more and telling my family that I loved them more everyday because of a death in our department back in Septemeber and it made me think of this poem for my mom eventhough someone else wrote and I actully got a framed copy of it for her for Christmas and when she read it she started crying because of the words it said. These are the words she saw.

A FIREMAN'S MOM is in a class of her own, Like an angel from heaven, like a queen on a throne.

Her heart and spirit as large as a mountain, With a smile that sparkles like a sun-splashed fountain.

She's put up with me since the first sound I'd spoken, Even to this day ~ that's a feat seldom broken!

While she's fully aware of the danger I face, She rarely shows it ~ not even a trace.

But deep within ~ her thoughts are more prayerful, "Lord, watch over my child ~ OH please ~ be careful."

A beautiful lady with her charm and appeal, Never missing a birthday or my favorite meal.

Like a rare-cut diamond; a priceless breed, Always ready to help any person in need.

Not mentioned enough, like a prayer or a psalm, "You're loved more than ever," my FIREMAN'S MOM.
