Sweet little kisses
Tiny little toes
The joy we celebrate
In watching babies grow
Each of our children
Gifts from above
Filling our lives with
So much love
From walking to talking
First day at school
To homework and bath time
And teaching the rules
Its not always easy
Some days are just hard
We worry, we scurry
And often feel tired
But mom, don't you fret
You're doing just fine
Your goal is not perfection
Its savoring the time
Special little moments
To warm their hearts
Your constant presence
And being who you are
Is what children want
And nothing less
Just giving your all
Trying your best
For days go by quickly
Faster than we wish
We can't slow down time
And we sure could miss
The moments that matter
Of connecting our hearts
To the ones God gave us
Our wisdom to impart
So on this Mother's Day
Know that you are enough
You are celebrated
You are loved
For a measure of grace
Has been planted in your heart
Water the seed of love
And it won't depart
No matter where they go
No matter where they've been
You'll always be the one
They'll remember when
They look back on the years
In your gentle care
Basking in the memories
And recalling you there
Through good times
Bad times, happy and sad
You are the constant
No matter the seasons they had
A picture of Jesus
A hand to hold
For a mother's love
Is worth far more than gold
Celebrating today all the mothers who have walked through the unwritten rules of motherhood. You are enough. You are loved, and you are making a difference.
To my mother, Joanne, you are one of life's greatest treasures ever given to me. May my life reflect just a measure of the wonderful mother you were. Remembering your love and knowing that you are celebrated in heaven!
