MY MOTHER<\/span><\/p>\n

My Mother taught me to be independent and helped me ot become the person I am<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother\u2019s name was Peggy,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

she was born on June the 7<\/span>th<\/span><\/sup>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her parent\u2019s names were Tom and Anne,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

she was a gift from heaven.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother had a brother,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

but they did not get on well.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He thought she was embarrassing,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was not there, it\u2019s hard to tell.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother went to Ballet,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

when she was a little girl.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She loved it all so very much,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

she became a real show girl.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother joined a drama group,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

she played a lot of parts.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As she gradually got older,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

it became a very fine art.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother went to college,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

and became a very good teacher.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She married Dad, a really good match<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

he turned out to be a teacher.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother had 3 children,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

who were all born 3 weeks late,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lucy didn\u2019t want to come out,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

But she was worth the wait.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother was always there for us,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She loved us no matter what,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He love was unconditional,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She gave it all she\u2019d got.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother was my great support<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

as I had special needs,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

For 39 years she fought for me,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And did many, many good deeds.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother became a Grandmother,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

To three boys and a girl.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She did not want to be called Gran,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

they called her Peg, the pearl.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Mother died years later in May,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the age of 67,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She\u2019d had a good life, we all would say.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
