Mother's Day

There is a love in this world
that sings strong through the years,
it is from the heart of a mother
who holds her children safe and dear,
her boundless devotion is like no other
a rare jewel that will forever live on.

She sacrifices to see her child happy
not once demands anything in return,
for all the things she does each day
we can never pay back but only learn,
as we admire the strength she displays
during those trying times that visits.

There is no greater love that exists
then the one between mother and child,
in her eyes all of her children are equal
no matter how very naughty or wild,
all the riches in this world is unequal
to a mothers love that is irreplaceable.

Dear Mom,
It doesn't seem right that there is only one day a year that is dedicated just to you. Because for the past 34 years, all your days have been dedicated to us. Everyday since 01-08-75 have had Stacy (and then Kristie, Tami and Kelly) written all over them. Because you are a mother and you love us.

I don't often take the time to tell you how much I love you, or how much I appreciate you, or how much I often think of you in thankfulness. But today (4 days after Mother's Day), will tell you just that.

I love you Mom
I appreciate you Mom
And I am so thankful for you Mom


Thank you for all the boo-boo's you've kissed, all the scrapped knees you've cleaned and bandaged, all the school notes you've written, all the meals you prepared, all the loads of laundry you've done, all the books you've read, the songs you've sung, the backs you've scratched, the hair you've brushed, the sports games you've watched, the band concerts you attended, the back yard picnics you've prepared, the vacations you've planned, the hours you worked to pay for those vacations, the new shoes you've bought, the prom dresses you bought, the tears you've wiped away, the hugs you've given, the advice you've shared, the broken hearts you've mended and for all the other ways you've shown your love.

Thank you for being my mom. Thank you for showing me what it means to love. I am so blessed that you will be there to teach me how to me a mom one day. I love you mom. Happy Mother's Day.

Thank you Tamers. You went and made my eyes all watery. I was given four beautiful daughters that are gifts from heaven above. Blessed beyond measure and intrust-ed with a tresure so valuable that it humbles me to the very core of my soul. My prayer is for each to return to their Father In Heaven that loves them WAY MORE and be- fore their earthly Mother ever did.
