Winners' Speeches

When Oscar winners make a speech, They often thank their mothers, As well as castmates, agents And a host of many others. It’s good to know the sacrifice Of moms, and their support, In words of winners on the stage Don’t often come up short. I’ve noticed on some other shows, When claiming an award For music or athletics, Winners’ mothers are ignored. Instead, the first place finishers Look up and thank their god. I always think their moms are more Deserving of the nod.

Well, none of them would be there without "her", would they? Too bad some of them don't consult their mothers about what to wear...

I suppose it depends on the contribution their mothers made in their lives. Sadly not ALL mothers are wonderful. But your poems champions the Moms that are, and its a lovely tribute to Moms Ilene. Well done.

I would tend to agree, Ilene, although I do not watch them. Moms are always their childs biggest support system and cheerleader. good to read you today. Hoping all is well.
