A MOTHER'S LOVE 

 Mothers are special in so many ways
And they more than deserve a special day.
They teach us how to love from the start
And in the beginning very seldom are we apart.

Lots of warm hugs and kisses are given freely
As they read from the Bible and teach us how to be.
In their example every day,
We learn kindness and helpfulness along life's way.

We are taught that helping others is how we should be
And that we should think of others and not just 'ME'!
Their selflessness is an example for all to learn
And to use freely in each corner of life that we turn.

Mothers don't receive medals like soldiers do
But I so believe, that they are heroes, too.
Mothers use their talents the best that they can
To raise us to be the best woman or man.

So, use the day wisely to honor Mom
Whether she is here or whether she is gone.
Don't forget the lessons that she taught you over the years
And remember happiness is not always smiles, sometimes it's tears.

When you think of love, think of Mom!
