Below are two pieces, one I dug up somewhere,
author unknown,(If anyone has any ideas email
me so that I may give proper credit). The second
is an original, written for Arlene, by me,

You are the Mother I received,
the day I wed your son.
And I just want to thank you, Mom
for the things that you have done.
You have given me a gracious man
with whom I share my life.
You are his lovely mother and
I his lucky wife.
You used to pat his little head,
and now I hold his hand.
You raised in love a little boy
then gave to me a man.

~Author Unknown.

You are the Mother of our Father,
We are the children of your son.
We enjoy the time we spend with you,
our days are filled with fun.
We've learned manners at your table
and our letters at your knee.
You taught us laughter, love, and
honesty.
You've set our spirits free.
And one day many years from now,
with children of our own.
We'll love them well, and teach them faith,
reaping what you've sown.
Your a Nana in a million,
A golden shining star.
Your loving fills us up inside.
with your help, we've gone far.
So Nana this one's all for you,
No other can lay claim.
Our Mommy wrote this, that is true.
But it's our words all the same.
