A mother has
a special way
of bringing
joy to every day,
of bringing
laughter to your eyes
As childhood
years fly quickly by-
A mother has
a way it seems
of understanding
hopes and dreams,
of knowing how
and what to say
a mother has
a special way.
Home
is where parents and memories live
full
of the love only families can give,
It's
a place where you learn and a place where you play,
it's
a cozy retreat on a cold winter's day.
It's
warm and familiar yet always new
a
place where there's always a welcome for you.
Home
is where laughter and happiness grow
a
place you'll remember wherever you go.
It
is rooms filled with dreams
and
bright moments to share,
it's
people who listen and people who care
People
who love, understand and forgive,
home
is where parents and memories live.
What
is a mother
by Katherine
Nelson Davis
A mother
is someone to shelter and guide us
to love
whatever we do
with warm
understanding and infinate patience
and wonderful
gentleness, too.
How often
a mother means swift reassurance
in soothing
our childish fears,
how tenderly
mothers watch over their children
and treasure
them all through the years.
The heart
of a mother is full of forgiveness for any mistake,
big or
small and generous always in helping her family
whose needs
she has placed above all.
A mother
can utter a word of compassion
and make
all our cares fall away
she can
brighten a home with the sound of her laughter
and make
life delightful and gay.
A mother
possesses incredible wisdom
and wonderful
insight and skill,
in each
of our hearts is that one special corner
which only
a mother can fill.
Grandmother
This term is reserved for
the special relationship
between an individual
and the female parent of his
or her own parent.
The name mother is derived
from the first century Anglo-Saxon
word "moder,"
and grand refers to one worthy
of respect.
Together they form the cherished
word grandmother.
