Poem
Mom, I tried to think of What to get for you this year I wondered how to give you something new And as I thought of the best way To show that you are dear I knew without a doubt what I should do I figured it was time for me To write in my own words And tell you all about the way I feel For, as much as cards in stores Are eloquent and sweet It’s what comes from MY heart that makes it real No Hallmark message ever could Convey the love I have In just the way that I would let you know That through the years you’ve come to be More precious every day Please trust that I will always love you so Remember on those days When you may be feeling low Your daughter loves you very, very much That even though we’re far apart She thinks of you in prayer And often longs to feel her mother’s touch So, let this day be filled With happy memories Of when your children gathered all around When happiness sprung from sparkling eyes And laughter filled the room When joy was such an overwhelming sound Know that your children treasure you Although at times may fail To give you the respect that you are due But we know that you’ve deserved Our deepest heartfelt thanks For everything you’ve done…and you still do! I love you, Mom! Written for Carolyn Turner by Donna Golden (for Mother’s Day) May, 2008 ©
