A Mother's Touch

Dedicated to my loving mother on her birthday!

In this cruel world today
Being a mother is the hardest work
Always being friendly and helpful
Always smiling and ready with a hug or kiss!

A mother’s touch heals all life’s problems
She gives strength in the weakest times
She gives hope in the lowest moments
She always loves you no matter what!

Being a Mother myself
I can now see and appreciate all she has done
I now know the hardship and love she felt
I know the tremendous sacrifice she has made!

I can only hope
To one day make her proud
To be the kind of mother she was to me
Standing in her footsteps is the hardest thing to do!
