Remembering Our Moms
Sunday, May 10, 2020
Mother’s Day is a special day to remember our moms, living and deceased, and even those who have been like moms to us - aunts, grandmas, great-grandmas, and friends. It is a time to cherish all the things we have learned from them and remember all the memories we have shared. It is a day that is filled with a full range of emotions, including laughter, tears, and love. I would like to share with you some thoughts I read about mothers.
She’s the one you have known forever.
The one you can go to for honest advice and genuine support.
She’s the one who accepts your quirky little habits
And understands you in a few ways others can.
She’s the one you can call at any hour-
To laugh or cry or complain…
The one whose voice has been there all along,
Sharing your secrets and your dreams
And singing your song when you needed it most.
She’s the one who can read your mind,
Hear your heart
And loves you just the way you are.
She’s your lifelong friend,
But so much more,
She’s your Mother.
Happy Mother’s Day !!!
