A Mother's Love
A mothers love is something that no one can explain
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may
It is patient and foregiving when all others are forsaking
It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns
It is far beyond defining it defines all explanation
A many splendoured miracle that man cannot understand |
To My Sweet Mother
When I was small it seemed there was nothing you couldn't do. There was not a problem that was insumountable with you to hold my hand. So many times when I was scared you could make it all seem to be well with just the right words. As I grew older, the fears were differant fears. Yet there you were, still holding my hand. We laughed and played our way thru life.We lived and trusted in each other and made it though. There are so many memories that I carry.Many lessons of life you taught me. What seems to others as silly things meant the world to me.
Do your remember all the times we would make dinner together. The dough wars we had with
cookie and dumplin dough? Oh what a mess we use to make. Or the dancin around the kitchen
as we fixed dinner? Two steppin thru the living room as we cleaned on Saturdays? The quiet
talks in the wee hours of the morning when all were still in bed. I can remember watching
you get ready for work and wishin we could spend the day together. You knew how scared I was of storms. I can't tell you how safe I felt when you would come into my room quietly and sleep with me to keep me safe. The storm would rage outside and I was safe within Momma's arms.When I was sick you would softly stroke my hair until I could sleep. The songs you would hum to me still burn in my mind. I can hear them now as clearly as I could then. The raine days we would take. A special time for us together to do things we loved to do. I would look up and see such a sweet smile on you face.Oh, how I miss that smile. Now that you are gone. I go through life trying to teach my girls all the wonderful things you taught me.How proud they would make you. They are such good girls Momma. I wish they could have known you and your special caring love. I have faced many trials through the years since you have been gone. Sometimes, when all was quiet I could feel you there with me. I found comfort in this and strength to go on.I know you are there with me. Watching over us and I know that one day we will be together again. You will be there waiting with an open heart and wide open arms to hold me. Watch over my babies Momma. As you watched over me and kept me safe. I Love and miss you so much momma |
