'a Mother's Trademark'

You are that pillar Our sometimes silent or verbal Cheerleader You are the epitome of boundless love A rare and tangible kind Even while you scold You possess the ability To love us even when we feel Undeserved of any kind of love A smile to uplift A hug to reassure You nurture Even when you need nurturing the most That is who you are We love you mom ©080520161400 Especially penned for Mother's day as requested by the Men's Fellowship at our church

this is excellent, dear Wilma. I hope your mother was wonderfully pleased by it. One of the best I have seen for Mother's Day!
