~ Lilacs For Mother's Day ~
When the lilacs bloom in May
My thoughts turn to Mother's Day
In childhood days we would gather
Sprigs of lilacs are all that'd matter
Then just before the sun would rise
We'd tiptoe in with our surprise
Breakfast on a tray so fair
And oh, the smell of lilacs in the air
Mom has been gone now many a year
But thoughts of her, can still bring a tear
And when lilacs bloom in May
My thoughts still turn to Mother's Day
