| Hi everyone...to anyone reading this, this is my first entry and i feel rather shy about submitting it but I wanted to share this poem I made for my mom for Mother's Day. It's about our life so a portion of it is personal but I hope you would still be able to relate with it. Well, here goes... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are very few things in life that are forever A new job, new car, new friend can come to pass quickly But to behold something that truly endures a lifetime It is a rare and beautiful thing... A TRIBUTE TO A MOTHER'S LOVE Mom, ever since we were little, you loved us When we were hungry, you fed us, wet and you changed us We skinned our knees, you bandaged us up Had a bad dream, beside us you stayed up Then you taught us as we went to school To learn all our lessons and obey the rules Generosity and kindness, respect and more These are the things we learned from you at home You encouraged us to reach our potential in life And celebrated our successes through hardship and strife When we were down, you picked us up You understood our limitations and patted our backs Then we grew up a little bit more We started having bigger problems to face Yet you held our hands and reminded us To know our true selves and to always have faith From then on it didn't matter what the problem was Guy problems, peer pressure, college...so what? We could handle anything that tried to break us Because we had you to lean on when the going got tough Now, one of us is married (you made that happen, too) I'm sure we three will follow in the next few years But no matter where we'll be, I'm certain you will be With us still and always through the laughter and the tears And so today, we want nothing more than to say Thank you for everything you do for us each day To have you for our mother is the best gift we could have It truly is an honor to love you and be loved ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (Belated) Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! You are God's gifts to your children. :) |

Thank you! It was wonderful:-) Moms are a blessing and your poem is a bleeing too.
Thanks, everyone! :) My mom did love the poem, as did she with all the other poems I've written for her. :) i love my Mom very much and I always want to repay her for everything she's done for me and my sisters and this is my simple way of doing so. :) I also made a scrapbook for her with pictures specially chosen to fit the poem. I broke up the poem into lines and spread them through the scrapbook. :) Anyway, thanks again for your nice comments. :)
