HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

 Happy Mother's Day!

I write sometimes with ease

Yet when it comes to Mothers

They have  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 (hardly seems enough) that is set aside to honor and thank you for all you've done and do.

Happy Mother's Day Mom! I Love You!

Love and Light,
