For Mother's Day 2008

                        M-O-T-H-E-R

                        "M" is for the million things she gave me,             

                        "O" means only that she's growing old,


                        "T" is for the tears she shed to save me,


                        "H" is for her heart of purest gold;


                        "E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,


                        "R" means right, and right she'll always be,


                         Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
                         A word that means the world to me.

        When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.  A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

        ODE TO MOTHERS
        by Kristin F. McKendall

        Mothers cannot do it all
        But surely do they try.

        Mothers hear the angel's call,
        To comfort all who cry.

        Mothers for themselves may fall,
        For others they will fly.

        Mother's bear the weight of all,
        For their children, they would die.

        A Mother's gift extends beyond
        All bounds of time and space.

        Her lovingness and nurturing
        Make Earth a peaceful place.

    Thank you, bigrichard.  It's got a boo-boo in there...a big "gap"...and I can't get rid of it.  It doesn't look too bad, does it?

    You're welcome, Jackie.  I'm glad that you liked it.

  • donnamg said 2 months ago

    Yeah, I agree.  Isn't "Ode to Mothers" beautiful?

  • donnamg said 2 months ago

    Thank you.  I tend to think that all women should be honored on Mother's Day because of all the love, caring, nurturing, and mothering they do to a lot of people, not just to their own children.  However, the bond between a mother and her child is worthy of every special recognition.

  • donnamg said 2 months ago

    Thanks, AJ.  Yes, motherhood should be celebrated.  The loving and caring that so many women share with their children and with so many people in unselfish and positive ways should not be taken for granted.
