Happy Mother’s Day From Wendy Klenetsky

In celebration of Mother's Day on Sunday May 13, we asked Patch readers to write a letter to their mother and let us deliver it. This is Wendy Klenetsky's poem to her mom:

“My Lifetime Friend: My Mother”

Throughout childhood and adolescent days,

She was my staunchest supporter,

And through teen years and young adulthood

I was glad to be her daughter.

As a mother-in-law and grandma,

She’s there whenever and wherever she’s needed,

And if this was to be her lot in life,

She’s definitely succeeded.

But whatever she is to other folks;

A friend, sister or other,

She is to me, and will always be

My lifetime friend, my mother!

—Wendy Klenetsky
