 She's someone you
could always run to as a child.. She's someone
you can always turn to as you grow..Whatever the
situation, a mother seems to know just what you need.. And whatever the
need she's willing to help, ready to listen, able to understand.. She's someone
who encourages you to be all you can be - yet accepts you just as you
are.. She's a mender
of hearts.. A maker of
memories.. A designer of
beautiful dreams.. Weaving a home
from the fabric of life, keeping it snug at the seams.. A mother is
someone who will always have a special place in your heart and your life.. M - O - T - H - E - R "M" is for the million things she gave me, "O" means only that she's growing old, "T" is for the tears she shed to save me, "H" is for her heart of purest gold; "E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining, "R" means right, and right she'll always be, Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER" A word that means the world to me. RICHER THAN GOLD You may have tangible wealth untold; WONDERFUL MOTHER God made a wonderful mother, MOTHER'S SONGS Songs my mother taught me, A picture memory brings to me; I look across the years and see Myself beside my mother's knee. I feel her gentle hand restrain My selfish moods, and know again A child's blind sense of wrong and pain. But wiser now, a man gray grown, My childhood's needs are better known. My mother's chastening love I own. -- John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) |
