THE BIG RED TOMATO

By BetsyLu62

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A big red tomato makes me think about my Mom. A slice with some salt & pepper, and she's humming a happy song. I wonder if she knows how easy she made it all seem... being a wife, a mother and living the All American Dream. My Mom can be happy without requiring a lot; It's as easy as a big red tomato that really hits her spot! Mom, I'm doing my best to like tomatoes too; I still have a hard time swallowing them; but I keep trying out of love for you. Written February 22nd, 2002 © on Feb 21 2002 11:58 PM PST   0 • 8
