Mom

From the cradle till now you have been by my side. From scraped knees to bruised hearts, Your presence has been my rock, You are always ready to help out whenever needed. You're the one who has given so much to make me the person I am today. Teaching right from wrong, to be morally just in all ways. I see love in your eyes when you look at me, and a frown when something is wrong. Mom, the most amazing person I know , putting everyone else first in you're life. I hope someday to be more like you. Till the clock on my setting sun will close my eyes. I'll love you Mom. Copyright 2008 Anne Rutherford Poems From The Heart Series This was written before she died. She really liked it , made the tears come!

Anne, this is a tremendous write for Mom and it just about expresses all the feeling I had for my Mom before she died. She had more love than anyone I ever knew and after 20 years I still miss her so much. Great Job and keep up the good work. Your friend,Lynn.

Thanks for reinstilling a mothers love in my heart. I recently wrote a poem, titled My Mothers Eyes. I would like it if you read it and let me know what you think.

WORDS USED QUITE POETICALLY TO FOREGROUND OUR COMMON UNIVERSAL FEELING..I COULD FEEL EVERY STROKE DEAR!
