SPRINKLE A LITTLE SUGAR​

Sprinkle a little sugar on her pumpkin pie

Let her snooze just a little bit more

Don’t finish what she starts to say

And don’t tell her how to drive, for sure

Try each day to make her laugh

Be grateful that she’s your best friend

Enjoy each day you have with her

And pray that it will never end

Don’t push an issue when she’s said her piece

On weekend mornings make her toast

Don’t spread the jam on too thick

For thin is how she likes it most

Enjoy the simple moments of life

So much of life we see the same

Call her to see the sun rise or set

When rays of light the skies enflame

Run errands for her in times of need

Be patient and kind when she’s in pain

Be grateful for all the pies she bakes

Comfort her when life’s a strain

Never dare to corner her cubs

Or you’ll back away with a little less fur

But you wouldn’t have it any other way

It’s just another reason to love her

You watch her worry herself sick

Over those that she has borne

Even when they turn their backs on her

And give her greater cause to mourn

And still she’d give her life for them

To make theirs the lesser load

To make life easier for them

To make theirs the smoother road

Is it any wonder then

Why I’ve come to love her so

For had she not come into my life

So many joys I’d never know

For my sweet Jo
