Mom
you`ve worked so hard all your life
before and since dad called you wife
you love the lord selflessly faithfully and trusting too
i`m grateful and thankful mom i`ll always love you
you never put limits on prayers hugs or kisses
your love is spot on and never once misses
your patience is legend and all that you teach
seldom scolding anyone you live what you preach
your laughing eyes mischeavious smile that i love so much
you beam radiantly through life with a firm gentle touch
from your body mind and soul to the soles of your feet
you aren`t like anyone else you are blessedly unique
honesty and forgiveness you passed on from your youth
give the best you have and the best will have you
i`ve told you all this before
but you deserve much more
i love you mom thanks for my being
looking past my faults
goodness always seeing
you are truly a treasure to all a rare and beautiful find
from heaven to earth a loving one of a kind
on the bottom of my heart is a key
to my precious memories
you gave all you have and more
in my prayers i ask the lord
let her see and know
what she means to me
a daughter to mother
true love story
thanks mom for all the prayers said
and for your example life`s right where you lead
