To J.R.

I thought of you the other day

When I was at the store,

Valentine stuff was all about

To make nuts like me buy more.


With you in mind, I walked around

Just what to get, I did not know,

Just a little something RED

I saw this on the shelf down below.


I know it isn't very much

A little remembrance in a way,

To let you know I'm proud of you

To you with love on this Valentine's Day.

Love You, Mother
