Love You Mom

May is when we honor Mom,
her that gave us birth!
No one has ever loved us more,
at least, not here on earth!

She nurtured us through thick and thin!
She kept us safe and strong!
She was our nurse, when we were sick,
she taught us right from wrong!

She had to cook and clean the house,
and get her youngsters off to school.
Do the laundry and the shopping,
teach the kids the "Golden Rule"!

She drove them to the movies
and attended school events!
She satisfied her husbands needs,
her life was real intense!

She asked for little in return,
she just did what must be done,
She felt, it's all a woman's job,
and quite often, it was fun!

So kudos to these Mothers,
let us stand and give a toast!
They accomplished all these many tasks,
for the folks that they loved most!

With these fond and loving memories,
there's not much more to say!
So, to honor Mom, let us dedicate,
the entire month of May!

Footnote:
Many thanks to all you Moms!
God bless each and every one of
you!  Now and forevermore!
