A Daughters Gratitude

Mom Thanks for.....
Planting my feet so firm on the ground,
and cleaning up my  mess which you found
 
Thanks for all  the times you wiped my nose 
and for all the times we shopped for  clothes 

Thanks for taking me to church,
and   being the living example of a womans worth 

Thanks for showing me how to tie my shoe,
and for making me smile when i was blue.

Thank s for teaching me how to ride a bike,
to skip and jump and swim and hike.

Thanks for all that you've done for me 
and filling my heart with the love it needs
