Mom's Birthday

Mom's Birthday

A Poem by Jon Roggie

She turns 76 in a few hours.
Now,
 I could take advantage of the various birthday specials,
  but I cringe.
Tonight,
 I put together a lemon cheesecake, frozen.
  Tomorrow it will be topped with cherries.
I realize she would enjoy a store-bought.
Tomorrow,
  a simple omelet to start the day.
Bacon, gouda, cheddar, 
  and a side of hash browns.
She does like an omelet.
Maybe a bagel.
 Her choice.
After that,
 I will manage to skip to dinner.
Smoke tri-tip roast,
 with grilled shrimp on the side.
Various sides,
 fresh rolls being one of them.
Yes,
 I realize this sounds like a menu.
She's my mom.
