Forget You Not

Forget-me-nots I planted today

in honor of you on Mother's Day

I watched children below laugh and play

and wished I could see you too

Little blue flowers cannot compete

with pudgy cheeks and chubby feet

they'll have to do 'til again we meet

I love you my baby true

Don't forget my soft caress

my gentle voice, who knows you best

the songs I sang as I built our nest

my little boy in blue
