My Mom

I love my mom so dear.
She’s part of my life indeed.
She was blessed with six kids,
but God took one to be with 
him in heaven.

We had hard times that
she managed quite well.
She didn’t ignore our 
needs at all.

Love, patience, and care
is what we received
through our growing years.

The spare time she 
had was spent with us.
Her life was put on 
hold to take care of us.

Through the years
growing up, she instilled
values in me that is a must.

I have now grown up. I’m
trying to teach my kids
what she taught me.

My mom is very sick
now. Love, patience
and care is what I’m
giving her. 

I hope that I’m not 
ignoring her needs.
I want her to be
proud of me.

I Love You Mom!!
