Happy Mother's Day

 Happy Mother's Day!

I write sometimes with ease

Yet when it comes to Mothers

They have so many complexities

Not found in many others

Do I write about their beauty

They share with those around?

Or do I focus on their strengths

So many it's profound

Like gardener's in the world of life

They cultivate and grow

Weed and feed and water

Nurturing what they sow

I can talk about her heart inside

Surrounding yours with Love

Always there uplifting you

Like gentle wings from above

And then there is such strength

Found in a Mother's soul

Standing strong in her convictions

Raising us well is her goal

Like a faithful tree she's there

Her arms outstretched and open

We run to her Love and Strength

When feeling frail and broken

A Mother's hand can be firm

While teaching right from wrong

Yet when we need her soothing

She's there singing us a song

And what about her inner child

Sharing Joy, laughter and fun

Mother's will go outside and play

Hitting softballs in the sun

I know there is a fragile side

When things are out of her control

That melancholy moment

When a Mother can't console

Life is sometimes harsh and hard

A Mother's heart can break

Pain can touch her  inner soul

Bringing tears and heartache

A Mother's spirit won't stay down

Perpetually it grows

Spreading Love and Compassion

Nurturing as she sows

Such complex Beauty's in a Mother

We honor you today

I guess I found my words

Yet there's so much more to say

Thank You hardly seems enough

For all that Mother's do

So I add I Love you Mom

From my heart that is true

One wish I have is just to be

Half the woman that you are

Then I'd be Blessed beyond my dreams

As you are my shining star

So I'll end where I began

Wondering how to say it all

With all your Love and Caring

You taught us to stand tall

My heart is filled with Gratitude

So I say it in my way

For being the Wonder that you are

Have a  Happy Mother's Day!

Written with Love, Joy,  and Thankfulness to Honor the Woman I Love and Admire, my Dearest Mother.  You've played such a major role in creating who I am today. This is one day that is set aside to honor and thank you for all you've done and do. (hardly seems enough)

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I Love You!

Love and Light,

Happy Nurses Week!

Happy Nurses Week!!

Tis the week for nurses

That we acknowledge you

Your kind and gentle caring

That lasts the whole year through

Seems odd to only have a week

To say what needs be said

Since that is what we have

     Let’s get on with this instead

So thank you for your knowledge

  That keeps us safe and sound

         And thanks for all your caring

          You share with all around

 Through laughter and through tears

  You always lend a hand

        So let’s take a week to share

                Our thoughts throughout the land

       With patience and with patients

           You practice what you preach

       Not only here to help

  You’re also here to teach

        From paperwork to bedpans

Your work is never done

                    Yet through it all you smile

         For in your heart you’ve won

        We do not always show it,

     Our respect for all you do

        So, for this week and always

        Many Thanks go out to you!!

      Thank You! & Happy Nurses Week!!!!

Thank You

The walk went well today

We made it! So Hurray!

Thank you one and all

For answering the call

To help fight the fight

Of this MS blight

"I walk because I can"

Words from my friend Anne

Multiple Sclerosis

Is a tough  diagnosis

So we keep on with this war

Until we kick MS out the door

Written with Love and Light,  by Nina Pauline

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that effects the nervous system of its victims. It is a debilitating progressive disease that as yet, has no cure. Through dedicated research there are many treatments available to slow the progression of the disease. With funding, research, thoughts and prayers, we will find a cure. Again, Thank you all for your support for this worthy cause.  Blessings to you and yours. Love and Light, Nina P
