Wonderful Mother


God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.

I know I haven't been an easy child,
But love for you lies underneath my whims;
There is no way I could be tame or mild:
I need sometimes to shout and wave my limbs.
You're the wall I need to test my height,
The countervailing force to test my strength,
The chain I hammer at with all my might,
Even though you have increased its length.
It's tough, I know, to be both Mom and Dad,
To raise me all alone, just hit or miss;
To have to play at once good cop and bad,
And give me grief before my goodnight kiss.
But love against the odds is stronger still:
I need your fierce, proud love, and always will.

How much I love you I can't say:
It's more than words can hold.
You're all at once my rich, red clay,
My potter and my mold.

Yours the words that shaped my voice,
The spirit within mine.
Yours the will that shaped my choice,
My fortune, and my sign.

How lucky I was to have had you
At the core of me!
Wise and good, you always knew
Just what I could be.

And so I came to be someone
Whom I could be proud of.
For this I give my swollen sum
Of gratitude and love.

MOTHER

You always believed in me

I have so many reasons
to thank you mother,
for taking good care of me
when I was young.

For letting me know,
time and again,
that I could turn
to you for support -
but most of all,
because you always
believed in me.

There were times when
my disappointments filled me
with self-doubt,
when I started to wonder
whether I'd ever reach
any of my goals.

But those were the times
when you encouraged me.
You told me that
I was a special person,
with character and abilities
to help me succeed.

You made me feel good
about myself and
inspired me to
keep on trying.

I believe in myself now
because you've always
believed in me.

Thank you Mum,
I love you.

MOTHERS ARE MEMORIES THAT LAST FOREVER

We're more honest than two people can be
in front of you - I can be me.

When I was very young
you seemed so old
I always had to listen
to what I was told.

But now that I'm older
I finally understand
what you had to say
made me what I am.

I want you to know
how lucky I feel
that what we have
is so very real.

All of the memories of the past
will last forever
They'll see me through my future
as a cherished treasure.

MOTHER

Mother our relationship is so special to me

I hope that you know
how very much I love you,
and how much I appreciate
all that you have done for me...

Mother, I'm glad that we
can be open and honest
with each other,
and I'm thankful that
theres nothing we can't talk about.

I'm glad that you've loved me enough
to let me choose my own dreams,
and I'm thankful that you've
offered me understanding
when I've made mistakes.

I'm glad that you've loved me enough
to allow me the room I need to grow,
and I'm thankful that
we've grown closer.

I'm glad that we have such a
loving relationship, and
I am thankful that
you are my mother.

I know we sometimes argue, and
I sometimes blow my lid.
But I still love you very much:
I'm only just a kid.

Sometimes I need to push against
The fences you erect,
Even though I know they're there
To shelter and protect.

I know you want the best for me
And to keep me from all harm.
I just want you to know I couldn't
Have a better mom.

Mommy, I love you
For all that you do.
I'll kiss you and hug you
'Cause you love me, too.

You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile 'cause I love you
On this Mother's Day

You are my mother and my friend,
Which is unusual.
Somehow our characters must blend:
Your wisdom and my will.

I turn, and you are there for me;
I speak, you understand.
I feel cared for, but also free;
You lead but don't command.

I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you, not just as my mom,
But for what you are and do.

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

My mom is very sweet and always caring.
She worries about me when I am in school.
She makes sure that I get where I am going
On time so that I don't feel like a fool.

She cares whenever I pick on my younger brother.
She cares whenever he or I get hurt.
She cares whenever I score a goal in soccer.
She cares about the buttons on my shirt.

But best of all, my mom loves all of us
Who live with her, both when we're good and bad.
She makes me happy with a hug and kiss
And holds my hand whenever I am sad.
