Courtesy Pattern : CP15 - Mother's Day

CROCHET PATTERN
CP15 - Mother's Day
Daffodil in Vase

How did you find the energy, Mom
To do all the things you did,
To be teacher, nurse and counselor
To me, when I was a kid.

How did you do it all, Mom,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can’t comprehend.

I see now it was love, Mom
That made you come whenever I'd call,
Your inexhaustible love, Mom
And I thank you for it all.

General Notes:
- This pattern is worked in continuous spiral rounds unless otherwise noted.
- This pattern utilizes standard US Crochet Terms.
- I do not utilize 'turning chains' when creating rows of single crochet stitches.  If you find it necessary to ch-1 at turn, this will count as your 1st stitch.
