In days bygone when I was but a child,
Long past yet thoughts of simpler times remain;
Of how your loving touch healed youthful pain.
Vanquished all fears because you kindly smiled,
Embracing hearts of innocence beguiled,
Your sunny ways quelled heartache's falling rain;  
Or helped me stand to face the world again,
Unselfish with firm hand yet ever mild.

Mom's love becomes our sweetest memory
Of times in life that only two can share.
Today I too have watched my children grow;
How quickly years surpass we fail to see.
Each moment spent with precious ones in care
Reminds me of our days not long ago

Happy Mother's Day, Mom
I love you
Nancy

I love your Mom too, so give her a hug for me on Mother's Day will you?  Bet she is going to look really "spiffy" tomorrow.  I sure wish I was there to give her a hug too.

We should spend less time worrying about when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start!

We get a bonus, it's an acrostic and sonnet in one. This is beautiful and touching.  It's no wonder why I call you the queen of sonnets!
I noticed that this is not the shakesperian sonnet form, which one is it?

This is a keeper~

Take care Nan and enjoy your day
