I want to dedicate this poem to Phyllis Connolly, a wonderful mother and friend. Thank you for everything mam, you're the best.

Mam, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.

You're patient when I'm foolish,
You give guidance when I ask,
It seems you can do most anything
You're the master of every task.

You're a dependable source of comfort
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble,
You support me whenever I call.

I love you more than you know
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd be the one I'd select!
