Happy Mother’s Day! Several years ago, Kenny wrote this poem in honor of his mother, Lucille, on Mother’s Day. -Team KR “How Long Has It Been?” How long has it been since you kissed your mother? How long since you held her hand? How long since you took the time and the trouble To show her how straight you stand? How long has it been since you’ve kissed her cheeks? How long since you made her proud? How long since you said, “I love you, Mom” No, I mean out loud You know, mothers must be made of iron to watch their children grow Then just when they seem to need them most, they have to watch them go Now take my mom as strong as she is, I must have made her cry How many times I could have hugged her, but instead I passed her by Maybe it’s because I’m growing up, maybe I don’t know, Or maybe it’s the pains of parenthood as I watch my children grow I hope my children show their mom how much they really care For someday it’s a proven fact, their mother won’t be there And so the question of the day… and don’t just ask your brother More important, ask yourself, How long since you kissed your mother? – Kenny Rogers
