Although this page is a Mother's Day gift
to my Mom, Gladys, I hope Mothers everywhere will enjoy it.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom. Love, Hugs
and Kisses
Before I Was Myself, You Made Me, Me
Before I was myself you made me, me
With love and patience, discipline and tears,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,
Allowing me to sail upon my sea,
Though well within the headlands of your fears.
Before I was myself you made me, me
With dreams enough of what I was to be
And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,
Relinquishing your powers gradually
To let me shape myself among my peers.
Before I was myself you made me, me,
And being good and wise, you gracefully
As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears
Bit by bit stepped back to set me free.
For love inspires learning naturally:
The mind assents to what the heart reveres.
And so it was through love you made me, me
By slowly stepping back to set me free.

"Happy Mother's Day" Means
More
"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.
But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

A Mothers Poem
I will not have a temper tantrum nor
stomp across the floor.
I will not pout, scream or shout or kick against the door.
I will not throw my food around nor pick upon another.
I'll always try to be real good because I am the mother.
A mother is someone with whom
you may not see eye to eye,
but is someone who will
always walk with you arm in arm.
I smile because I am your Mother.
I laugh because you can't do anything about it.

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.
