Mom

To me, you're like a mom.
No, I'm not wrong.
You're more like a mom
than you realize.

Even if it's telling me
to wipe my chin,
or to come again,
you're so like a mom
that I have to grin.

It's so sweet,
it's adorable to see.
I think others know what I mean.
Yes, you're like a mom to me.

You should see yourself.
A mom before your time.
I have this to say:
"It probably comes naturally,
but you keep in practice."

Here's to moms, real and virtual.
