Brain Storming a Mothers' Day Poem

Istijlál (Majesty), 11 Jamál (Beauty), 165 B.E. – Thursday, May 8, 2008 about 7:00 PM PDT

• Mothers' Day is Sunday, May 11, 2008
• My mother is 87 years old
• My mother was born on a farm in Oklahoma
• My mother lived and worked in Las Vegas during World War II
• My mother worked as a food server all her life
• My mother read to us when we were children
• My mother raised us as a single mother after my parents divorced
• My mother writes poetry
• My mother likes to attend poetry readings
• My mother was an only child
• My mother had cousins who lived near her as a child
• My mother enjoys cleaning house
• My mother enjoys washing dishes
• My mother likes to eat out
• My mother gave birth to four children two boys and two girls
• My mother likes to drink coffee
• My mother has eight grandchildren
• My mother has five great grandchildren
• The doctor who delivered my mother did not expect her to survive
• My mother likes roses
• My mother had a dog named Tuffy

All of these are interesting facts about my mother, but none of them say specifically what I want the poem to contain. Mothers' Day is only a few days away, so I am going to have to figure out a poem or decide on something else. Perhaps a blank book so that she can write her memories in it would be best.
