*MOMS*

TO MY MOM AND MIL:

I often contemplate my childhood, Mom.

I am a mother now, and so I know

Hard work is mixed together with the fun;

You learned that when you raised me long ago.
I think of all the things you gave to me:

Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears,

Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul--

All these you spent on me throughout the years.
You loved me with a never-failing love

You gave me strength and sweet security,

And then you did the hardest thing of all:

You let me separate and set me free.
Every day, I try my best to be

A mother like the mom you were to me

Mother's Day brings to mind

The thousands of things you did for me

that helped make me happier,stronger and wiser,

because I had you as a role model.
I'm grateful for all the times

you healed my hurts and calmed my fears,

so that I could face the world feeling safe and secure.
I'm thankful for all you showed me

about how to love and give--

lessons that now bring

so many blessings to me

each and every day.
Your sacrifices and unselfishness

did not go unnoticed, Mom.

I admire you, I respect you,I love you.

And I'm so glad you're my mother!
Happy Mother's Day!

To ALL the other MOMS out there- Mother's Day is your day to shine! Happy Mother's Day and hope you all have a fabulous day!!! :)
