Mothers Give birth to Screaming vocal cords Sucking mouths Messy diapers Clinging arms Tiny hair pulling hands And sleepless nights. Yet patiently They meet their demands Nursing Nourishing Cradling and cuddling Rocking Comforting Burping and bouncing Walking the floor Entertaining, Keeping them clean And smelling sweet Showering them With tender devotion They teach Life's lessons Of what it is To love and Be loved From infancy To eternity A mother's love, a mother's touch A mother's work is never completely done Until God calls her home And says well done. |

Septsong~ Well said, exactly how it is. Mothers never stop being mothers they always care and worry about their children even when they are grown and have children of their own  Tracie~ Keep all the windows of your mind open Anne Rooks |

Glad you liked it, I was thinking of Mother's day coming up when I wrote it. Being a mother is certainly a big responsiblility but worth it! |

Dear Septsong, May I please print this out and frame it? Would you object if I gave it to my daughter for Mothers Day? In fact, I could merchandize this for you. Let say, 10% commission? Or, we could set up a partneship ,... let's say.... 60/ 40,.. you being the 60, of course..... or maybe vice versa,..... in fact, maybe I could just give you a commission.....say, 10%? You deserve it!.... after all, you wrote it! (Jealousy is brewing) I mean, you did write it, didn't you?.....Or did I write it?... No, no, no, I was just thinking it.... In fact, I've been thinking it for 30 years. And you just wrote my thoughts, So,... can I please print it and give it to my daughter for Mothers Day?. How much do you want for it? Liz |

How true, Mothers day was a couple of weeks ago over here. Mums are the most important people in the world. |
