A Case For Greatness Mother's Day Dedication

I must apologize to all those who claim that they have "The Greatest Mom in the World!" For I know that they are all misinformed Please jury, don't think me cruel but my mom always taught me to tell the truth So today under oath I will present my case I have seen the cups and tee shirts In some cases even trophies Each one prominently displaying this title and highest of honours Although I am sure these women are all quite extraordinary today on this most cherished of days I wish to make my case. For me the truth of this matter began fifty six years ago. For you see my mom became practiced In the art of mothering sixteen months before I was born. For when my brother was born She gazed deeply into his blue eyes In that moment she loved him with all the power of her being If you had asked her she would have told you it would be impossible to love with such intensity again Then came blue eyed baby number two Now blue eyed baby number two yours truly AKA Ricky was born on the eighth of September 1961 Any other mere mortal would have been exhausted For you see after a year of changing diapers and also being married to the biggest blue eyed baby of them all our not so dear (young dad at the time) who would later only make it to not so loved (middle age dad) My triumphant arrival was greeted by her most amazing smile For in that moment was born a love that my blue eyes have cherished through the years As most children do I have tested her love in many ways Still I can say that her love never wained In fact this heart has never witnessed any limits to her love When my sister, blue eyed baby number three was born I should have somehow felt less loved However I can assure you that not once in my many years have I ever not felt completely loved by her Hers is the familiar voice that brings me comfort Hers is the laugh that ads measure to my joy From her mischievous I have gained my good humour From her strength I have absorbed my resilience Even in her times of pain she has not been lacking in compassion Hers I submit is the most generous of spirits For I have witnessed her dance through her adversity and never has she been one to wallow in her sorrow Therefore with confidence and love I submit to you the jury that this amazing women AKA Mama Bear is indeed the "The Greatest Mom in the World Happy Mother Day 2016 I love you Mom
