"Mom" by Marcie

She performed emergency surgery
to my best friend Fluffy
his neck was cut open
she didn't mind if he was made up of stuffing.
She cut our peanut butter jelly sandwiches
like Mickey Mouse characters
without the crust.
Snacks were in the same place,
on time every day after school.
She could style our hair
just like Jennifer Aniston
I gazed upon her picture perfect complexion
as she flawlessly put on her makeup.
Her angelic voice was heard every Sunday
as I sat next to her in church.
Her ear always open,
shoulder always lendable
Martha Stewart's got nothing on her.
Rare and special
I knew as mom.
