Mom visits with infinite love
warm sunny smile sent from above,
treats on hand, perfectly yummy,
gifts of warm hugs, sweet as honey.

Butterfly kisses on every head,
melts hungry hearts, with fresh baked bread.
lights up taste buds, joys start to fly,
brightens worn minds with apple pie.

Pure affection bakes deep inside,
wisdom crumbles, nurtures and guides,
all troubles fade, dissolves mistakes,
strong tight embrace, like homemade cake.

Put legos down, pick up the phone,
arrange a trip, excitement roams,
prepare the kids, hair set and combed,
happiness sings “grandma is home.”
