There's Something Extra-special

There�s something extra - special when you walk into our house,
It seems as if someone had gone over it and sprinkled it with love,
That someone is always there - just drop around to see,
And watch her coming to welcome you with that twinkle in her eye.

There�s something extra - special when we walk down the street,
It seems every-one turns and says �My, doesn�t she look sweet!�
It�s her alright just having a gay time,
She�s always smiling and saying hello with that twinkle in her eye.

Yes, there�s something extra special about that Mother of mine,
And I�m sure the Lord above knows all about it too,
And when she leaves this world to go to lands unknown to us,
I�m sure there�ll be an extra special place reserved for the one we love so much.



                My first poem to you, Mom. It wasn�t much of
          anything, was it? In fact it doesn�t even rhyme. But I tried
          my hardest to tell you then with this, that I Loved You
          very much. I could tell by your tears, that you understood,
          and because you smiled, I felt mighty proud and happy.
