My Most Beautiful Mother
**SNITCH, PIE EATER, SWIFTY, and ITEY are sitting in the LODGING HOUSE, downstairs. The fire is blazing, crackling, and, judging from the snowfall outside, the boys are happy to be near it. SNITCH is sitting comfortably in a faded chair, his head tilted back towards the ceiling, his thumbs twiddling in his lap. ITEY looks up at him**
ITEY:
Snitch? Youse okay?
SNITCH:
**looks at ITEY, slightly surprised** Oh, yeah, I's fine. Just thinkin'.
PIE EATER:
**joking** Didn't know you knew how.
SNITCH:
Yeah, maybe you oughta try it sometime, Pie. **sighs and stares at the ceiling again**
ITEY:
What are you thinkin' about?
SNITCH:
My mama. **blushes softly** When I was little, and it was snowin', Mama and I'd sit in front of the fire, sharin' a blanket, and she'd tell me stories about faeries and goblins and stuff. **sighs** I miss that.
ITEY:
**quiet** My ma and I would play games with my brother and sister on snowy days. Those were some of the few times Tony and Aria ever at least pretended to like me.
SWIFTY:
**staring at the fire** I miss my mama.
SNITCH:
I think we all miss our mamas.
**song 'My Most Beautiful Mother' starts**
PIE EATER:
I still have her silver earrings.
The ones that she wore to Sunday Church
I keep them always here with me
Hidden somewhere only I can be
SWIFTY:
When I smell the ocean scent upon the air
When the night sky descends on the bright city
I can see her, looking down
Her eyes two shining stars
ALL:
That special feeling of being protected by magic
This is the love that she had for me, stronger than anything
The morning dawn cannot compare to the beauty in her heart
ITEY:
More and more, I want to see you!
ALL:
My most beautiful mother
My most beautiful mother
SNITCH:
When I hear the birds begin to sing out
In the sparkling chill of the morning
I think of her, and her sweet voice
Smoother than a lover's dream
ITEY:
I remember when I used to cry
With my siblings, I was always forgotten
She would find me, and then
My tears would be kissed away
ALL:
That magic feeling of being loved by someone perfect and kind
No one could ever take the place of that woman in my heart
Always when I needed her, she was there to hold me
SWIFTY:
Always and always, she'll be in my heart!
ALL:
My most beautiful mother
The morning dawn cannot compare to the beauty I saw in her
SNITCH:
Always and always, all my love to her!
ALL:
My most beautiful mother
My most beautiful mother

**AUTHOR'S NOTE***
I guess you could say this is my tribute to Bob Hope. He was a personal hero of mine, and I had to fight to keep from crying when my mom told me he had died. It's not a very good tribute, I know, since this is all about mothers and stuff, but… it's the best I could do on such short notice.
I've noticed I'm more poetic when I'm sad. How awful is that?
Ah well, I guess. That's the story.
