A Police Officer's Mom
Poem by Foley

A Police Officer's mom is in a class of her own,
Like an angel from heaven, like a queen on a throne.

Her heart and spirit as large as a mountain,
With a smile that sparkles like a sun-splashed fountain.

She's put up with me since the first sound I'd spoken,
Even to this day --- that's a feat seldom broken!

While she's fully aware of the danger I face,
She rarely shows it-not even a trace.

But deep within...her thoughts are more prayerful,
"Lord, watch over my child - Oh please..be careful."

A beautiful lady with her charm and appeal,
Never missing a birthday or my favorite meal.

Like a rare-cut diamond; a priceless breed,
Always ready to help any person in need.

Not mentioned enough, like a prayer or a psalm,
"You're loved more than ever," MY Wonderful Mom.
