HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

"A MOTHER"

Who could endure nine long months

of waiting

and wondering

and wishing
and praying
for a healthy newborn?
. . . Only a mother.

Who could trample the floor
for countless days and nights
caring for a helpless child,
then, lovingly cast a kiss
on that same little innocent face?
. . . Only a mother.

Who could cook and clean,
walk around the neighborhood,

run errands,
and talk on the phone,
with a spoiled brat hanging on her hip?
. . . Only a mother.

Who could calm the storms
that rage the heart and the home
when little ones mature into big ones
and leave the love nest,
causing all that was once near and dear
to drift into a whole new meaning of despair?
. . . Only a mother.

-

Who could love through the best of times

and through the worst of times;

through thick and thin;

through heartache and pain;

through sunshine and rain?

. . . ONLY A MOTHER.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
