Mother Time They say, "Time will heal all." Well, I'm not sure that's true For each year on Mother's Day There's still nothing, I can do. I can't go and visit Mom I can't, give her a call I can't send a card or flowers There's just the memories, that's all. The times that I remember Aren't, a certain Mother's Day It's all those many, special times We shared, along the way. Some memories are funny And some of them are sad There were times, of learning When, I was that young lad. Now, that I've grown older And now that Mom is gone I think of all I wish I'd said Before, she had passed on. 05.07.2009 More selections for Mother's Day past at /main/forumdisplay.cgi?action=displayarchive&number=94&topic=003770 MILITARY MOMS This year on Mother's Day We should think of offspring lost And Mothers of all those Troops Who paid the ultimate cost. They've watched Sons and Daughters Sent off to a foreign land To fight wars and give their all In some conflicts so ill planned. But no matter what the reasons They've always stepped up to the line To give their lives for Freedoms Enjoyed by all of yours and mine. We must Honor all those Mothers Of all those who have Served And Sacrifices that they made With our, "Thanks!", so well deserved. It takes a very Special Lady To let Her Child go off to War Or just to join the Military With the pride and fear and more. There's too many Gold Star Mothers And if you might know of one Please send Her a special wish To praise Her Daughter or Son. Military Moms are the Greatest With a strength beyond compare Who hope and pray their loved one Comes Home safe, from over there. So, let's keep them in our thoughts And hope their prayers come true All those Moms and all those Troops Who stand Strong and Proud, and True. 5-10-2006 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. copyright 1984 |

Abe, both of your "Mother's Day" poems were achingly beautiful. I felt every blessed word of them. ~ and yes, may the children of all military moms return home safely. Love, Peace, Harmony and Mother Light, Linda  |
