Mothers

To my mom....

A MOTHER
God sought to give the sweetest thing
In His almighty power
To earth; and deeply pondering
What it should be, one hour
In fondest joy and love of heart
Outweighing every other,
He moved the gates of heaven apart
And gave to earth a mother.

A MOTHER
A Mother is one who
Understands the things
You say and do

Who always overlooks
Your faults and sees the
Best in you

A Mother is one whose
Special love inspires you
Day by day.

Who fills your heart with
Gladness in her warm
And thoughtful way

A Mother is all these things
and more - the greatest
Treasure known.

And the dearest Mother in
All of the world is the one I
Call my own.

WHAT RULES THE WORLD
They say that man is mighty;
He governs the land and sea,
He wields a mighty scepter
O'er lesser powers that be.
But a mightier power and stronger
Man from his throne has hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world."
~~ William Ross Wallace.


THE MOTHER'S DAY SONG
Once each year on Sunday
There comes such a special day,

A day to honor mothers
In a somewhat special way.

We send them gifts and flowers,
And a card that tries to say

How we appreciate our mothers
More than just in May.

Oh mother, thank you!
Thank you for giving my life to me.

Oh mother, thank you!
Thank you for mending my torn up knee.

Oh mother, thank you!
Thank you for teaching me how to pray.

Oh mother, thank you!
Thank you for helping me on my way.

But after Mother's Day is gone,
We seldome find the time

To think about our mothers,
Or to call them for a dime.

We act as though to show them love
Would constitute a crime

Oh how selfish it appears
When deeds and words don't rhyme.

Oh mother, thank you!
Thank you for giving my life to me.

Oh mother, thank you!
Thank you for mending my torn up knee.

Oh mother, thank you!
Thank you for teaching me how to pray.

Oh mother, thank you!
Thank you for helping me on my way.

We've gathered here to honor
Mothers everywhere today.

The ones who gave us everything
By knowing how to pray.

And, in this hour once a year,
We're hoping we can say

The thanks we seldom say to her,
Going on our way.

Let's thank our mothers.
Thank them on every day of the week.

Let's thank our mothers.
Thank them in deed, not in words that we speak.

Please thank your mother,
Turn to her now and smile and say,

"Oh thank you, mother,
Thank you for helping me on my way!"

"We love you and that's all we'd like to say!"
~~ Shamblin Stone, 1977


MOMS
To the sweetest mom in all the world
This is a special wish

To make this very special day
A very special treat

But when this day is passed and gone
You, Mom, will still be mom.

Still caring and still sharing
In those very special ways

To the nicest mom on earth
I say, "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY."
