When i love you is said , happy tears may be shed .
In a whisper in bedtime ears , calm and ease break all fears .
From long distance or face to face , the i love you fills the empty space.
I love you is said and heard with kind eyes , deep in the heart are the joyous cries .
It may be said with a concerning frown , love is still implied like a hidden treasure for it to be found .
Love is needed when one feels the hurt , a gentle kiss when one skids the knee in the dirt .
The warmth feel of a hug just because , bring smiles and laughter is what it does .
Those sincere and always caring words , i love you , in the mind , body , and soul , forever it will be heard .
Moms say this no matter what , in disguise or right upfront , to embrace it as you will , for god or bad moms will love you still .
I LOVE YOU MOM
The beauty of her long black silky hair, and the amazing smile that lights up her eyes as she’s happy and excited. Mom’s laugh is contagious and it fills us with joy, when we hear it!! Mom’s brown chocolate eyes look so adorable, I have to resist the urge to tell her that I think she’s adorable and cute when I see her eyes look that way!! Her heart is full of love and never ending love!!
There is so much I would love to change
I think about it all the time
with a bit of regret
believing I could have taken the pen and written,
then perhaps the story would have changed
Now that time has locked me into a loop
I'd step back to that day when my eyes felt blurry
first, I would look at the baby photos
remembering in the future, they had burned down like old love letters,
from a soldier who died in battle,
fragile like they were never meant to be lost, like they deserved a different fate
I would whisper to younger me
I would tell her, wake mommy up
and I would say this with tears
remembering how she had turned into ashes
And hopefully, when time finally closes its loop
I would wake up with a better tomorrow
with her voice singing my favorite lullaby
with the smell of her scent that I never seemed to forget
and in every embrace afterward,
I would hold her tighter.
vomit on the stairs
a qualmish situation
where is a mother
super moms run the world
they know your business
their hearts are clearly unfurled
they zoom in and out day and night
soothing hard feelings,
making the neighbors feel right
they drop in at schools with cookies and such
your teachers love them
they have the magical touch
super moms know how to deal with daddies too
they cheer them up if they try to be blue
super moms run the world
they know your business
their hearts are clearly unfurled
they zoom in and out day and night
soothing hard feelings,
making the neighbors feel right
they drop in at schools with cookies and such
your teachers love them
they have the magical touch
super moms know how to deal with daddies too
they cheer them up if they try to be blue
Turns into long day
making lunch and washing clothes
no time for cat nap
You don't need a baby in your tummy
To be labeled as a mommy
As long as you give a child
Love to last them quite a while
You can be an aunt that shares
Laughter that dries all sad tears
Sharing smiles every day
Keeping the dark clouds away
A godmother full of love
That will always push and shove
Away the dangers in the night
That can cause a scary fright
A new stepmother who will be
Part of a loving family
Promising to be there
When you need guidance and care
A foster mom who wants to make
A lonely child's bad heartache
Go away and stop forever
By signing an adoption letter
Look around and you will see
Mom types living differently
But the same in many forms
Keeping children safe and warm
No one in the family can make Mom’s beef and noodles
Lavishing them over her freshly mashed potatoes now
Her crunchy corn pudding is sitting next door.
Waiting for the crisp radish, carrot, lettuce salad to be added.
Pumpkin pie completed the masterpiece.
Hello Mom I say to heaven.
noodles over potatoes
with Iowa beef
made by my mom, Lucille,
best meal ever
taste it in my dreams
memory
yum
I have another piece that's too long for here - so it's in "Short Stories."
It's called "doctor mom" - about my mom and being home.
I know I could take things out - to make the piece shorter and fit here - but then it's not what I wanted to say *shrug*
Here's the link

I hope you like it!
Mom is a lullaby on the long nights,
the divine melody of purest love.
Her calm eyes emanate heavenly lights
like all the twinkling shooting stars above.
Mom is an angel who has big powers,
A soothing balm is the touch of her hands,
Her breath is the perfume of spring flowers,
Mom always listens, and she understands.
Each morning Mom is the first friendly smile,
A charming fairy from magical worlds,
She has her beauty and her unique style,
MOM holiest word among all the words.
Happy Mother's Day to all Moms out there,
We thank you for your love and all your care.
Life building is your calling
upon faith strength, prevailing
trusting God Who’s propelling
your mission in care-giving.
With the Lord propping your zest
patience you show by love’s best
steadfast though challenges test
praying for progress that’s blest.
Life builders … such a great role
to raise kids well is your goal
mentoring to heart and soul
divine task along hope’s pole.
God surely beholds your deed
fulfilled by His grace indeed
as you sow compassion’s seed
that meets every orphan’s need.
As parents to the fatherless
and moms to the motherless
your good works nevertheless
will never become fruitless.
Building lives midst loving light
you serve as Moms day and night
guiding children to use truth-might
while in Christ you delight.
Thanks for your kind engagement
surely precious commitment
dear and priceless involvement
beyond earthly investment.
*Colossians 1:4 …We heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all…

Thou mothers of daughters, I hope you can hear me say,
How blessed we are for the courage and strength that thou teach.
To be independent, to be encouraged to try new things.
Hear thee they moms, for it is you who teaches us.
To be the women of future years to come.
To stand up and speak and to be heard.
To be educated in any field.
To carry ourselves with strength and confidence.
For the women of today,
even stand beside thy men.
In battles like they never once could.
To earn paychecks to pay for their families to be fed.
Thank you thy moms.
For you believed in thee.
To carry on in life as once it never was.
To be a strong woman, to teach the way you did.
For women to go farther in life.
To gain confidence, courage and passion.
To be heard, to learn and most of all.
Be like you dear moms
Women
An ode to women
The ones that carry us
The ones that raise us
The ones that care for us
The ones that support us
The ones that picked us up when we fell down
Moms, nanas, meemaws, grannies, mimis
So many names for the first ones who loved us
The women of our family
Are the reason for our survival
They guide so we do not fail
But when we do they are still there.
