Mother's Gems
My daughters just went shopping, and told me
"Mama, hide your eyes! " When they came in the front door,
With a Mother's Day surprise.
They carried several loads of bags from my dear
daughter's car,
With smiles, laughs and giggles
For the day we mamas star
They always each will ask me,
"Mom? What do you want this year?"
I tell each child "Nothing, just you children, each sweet dear."
And I truly mean it, but they do it anyway,
They always bring me presents
Every year on Mother's Day.
And now that most my daughters,
Have children of their own,
And every single child of mine
Is raised all up and grown,
Mother's Day is filled with flowers, cards and
Sweet things too,
Yet the sweetest thing of all is
Our Family's love so true.
My daughters gave me flowers
An early gift today,
A colorful and brilliant bunch,
A wonderful bouquet!
Loveliness, what beauty!
But more lovely each sweet gem,
The brilliant precious priceless ones.
I have in each of them!
