Just love me on tuesday is what she would say,

with a smile and a tilt in her own special way;

Quite puzzled at first and on such a quest,

until she decided to fill me in on the rest;

As you grow older and life becomes busy,

you might miss my birthday or come late in a tizzy;

Don’t worry about me, I know she would say,

just love me on tuesday and all is ok.

It started so simple then one day it made sense,

how could I have ever been so dense;

It was me who’d love her, is what I had thought,

that wasn’t it at all,  it was her love for others that I caught;

Our world is so vast and there’s so much to handle,

the people who live, expectations, who holds a candle;

But to love and forgive, that takes grace,

and that’s what she gave me so I could win the race.

So ease up on yourself and give others a break,

allow them to breath and take a breath for your sake;

Our life passes by in the blink of an eye,

and how do you want to be remembered when you die;

Put yourself in the shoes of another,

the shoes I wear are those of my mother.

When someone hurts you or misses your mark in some way,

creating a situation that ruins your day,

don’t  give in to the world’s temptation,

make a decision instead and change your expectation;

Pass on this phrase, that has changed me in such a way,

just love me on tuesday and all is ok.©
