In my life there has been one constant A special someone, true and unwavering Whose love for me is heaven sent Deep, abiding and unchanging. She is my mother, there is no other From the moment I can first remember My momma's voice, her caring eyes Sweet, soft kisses, her hugs so tender. Mom, always available and there for me Through the years, my whole life through Listening and giving words of comfort In her understanding way so true. No one could never, no never ever Replace my dear and precious mother And I thank God that I've been blessed With my dear mother, she is like no other. Written on 2/18/2015

Mother is so great. In Sanskrit ""Janani Janma-bhoomi-scha Swargadapi Gariyasi" ...ie, " mother and motherland are greater than heaven". Great tribute Mom. Love Laura. God bless...

I believe that a mother/daughter bond has no match in the human equation. The love that you share between you is remarkable and so self evident in this poem. Your words are like a bouquet of flowers that brighten the senses and pay tribute to the love that is your mother. You have stored all the best your mother gave to you in your heart so that you may dispense it to others and they too can be touched by the experience. Emile #7

Thank you so much, Lindsay! I am so very thankful for my dear mother, and tried to be like her in as many ways as I could for my own sons.
