Our Mothers hold a special place in our hearts and stir our emotions when their name is mentioned or remembered.
We should never be afraid to express our love and devotion to our Mothers and we should seize every opportunity to show her our sincere appreciation.
Our poem this week, honouring Mother's Day comes from Ed Broderick.
Mother of Mine
When I think back o'er the years
I smile softly among my tears
You were always there to ease my fears
And when I did well I enjoyed your cheers
I know I caused a grey hair or two
Doing things I could not undo
But this I know to be true
With all my being I love you
Time has gone by and I have grown
Hoping my gratitude to you I've shown
Your many grand and great grand kin
Would give you cause to smile and grin
They know of you from stories I've told
Of your grace and heart of gold
Our love of you is forever
We will forget you, Never!
Momma
Peace Love
