TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS



MY SPECIAL MOM


A mother's heart knows how to care, A mother's love is always there. I love the sound of her footsteps, The music of her voice The advice she gives And the books we read. She shows me her world And tells me about mine. I'm so glad the world has my Mom in it.




I LOVED YOU ENOUGH

Some day when my children are old enough to understand 
the logic that motivates a parent,
I will tell them.... 
I loved you enough to ask where you were going,
with whom, and what time you would be home. 
I loved you enough to insist that you save your money
and buy a bike for yourself even though 
we could afford to buy one for you. 
I loved you enough to be silent and
let you discover that your new best friend was a creep.
I loved you enough to make you 
take a Milky Way back to the drugstore 
(with a bite out of it) and tell the clerk,
"I stole this yesterday and want to pay for it." 
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours
while you cleaned your room, 
a job that would have taken me 15 minutes. 
I loved you enough to let you see 
anger, disappointment, and tears in my eyes.
Children must learn that their parents aren't perfect.
I loved you enough to let you assume the
responsibility for your actions even when
the penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.
But most of all, I loved you enough to say NO
when I knew you would hate me for it.
Those were the most difficult battles of all. 
I'm glad I won them, because in the end you won, too.
