Thank You....For Mothers Everywhere

When I read between the lines
Time has laid upon your face
I can see a tough life
That only time can erase

You've been there for me
From the very first day
All the love you've given
I could never, ever repay

So I send to you a thank you
For this life you've truly blessed
To let you know I love you
And Mom you are the best


 I lie awake in a world filled with dreams,
but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep

Hon, this one was beautiful!! Make sure you let your Mom read this one. I know she'll be touched. I am sure you have touched all the Moms at this forum as well. Moms sure are special and a little thank you from time to time sure is nice. You're a real sweetie!

take care,
amy

Jeffrey,
A wonderful poem and just in time.  We may all be printing this.

Your mother is a lucky lady also Jeffery ... my mother would do backflips if my brother ever wrote a poem!  This is a wonderful tribute to her ...

Best wishes,

jeffrey,
     Wonderfully said, my friend!   I couldn't think of a better way to tell mother just how much she means.  You always have the right words at the right time!  
     Love Ya~
