Piper and Patch were a frolickin’.
Along the road so sweet.
When they thought they heard a cry, a baaa!
Was it their mother, the long lost sheep?
“Are you my mama?” Patch asked.
Maizy the cow was all a-bawl.
And with a little spit, she gave ’em a lick
“A new auntie” they cried, “so tall!”
“Are you my mama?” Piper asked.
“I’ll peep and peep all day!”
And with a “cheep” and a monstrous leap.
The chicken flew away.
“Now this is hopeful!” they bellowed.
As Tulip said “Hello.”
She’s big and white … but not quite right.
One bark and off they go.
But who’s this walking toward us?
“Baa, baa,” they cried!
We’ve been looking for you all day, ma ma!
And with that, they let out a sheepish sigh.
Oh, these lambs are just so cute! What fun it is to see them and their sweet faces on your blog. By the way, what happened to their real Mama? They seem to adapt to two legged Mama quite well. So sweet!
Sadly, their mother died in childbirth: http://www.raisingjane.org/journal/31677
That was the best version of “Are you my Mother?” I’ve read in a long time! Those lil babies are just the cutest! How lucky are they to have Kim as their human mama!
Thank you for brightening my day with this sweet tale.
Hugs,
Laurie
So sweet and fun! Again, brings back SOOOOOOOOOOO many memories!
CJ my dear, when I wrote you yesterday, I forgot to THANK YOU (all CAPS) for the lovely, thoughtful Valentines Day card you made and sent my way. You are too sweet!

I love their antics. Isn’t that story like one I used to read to my children? It sounds so familiar. 🙂
Still love this one!! ^_^
