MY MOTHER
by Ethel (written on 5/12/85)

God has given me a Mother, who is a
blessing from above
In our lives we have others, but none give
that special kind of love

I thank God for a Mother who is
pretty and clean
Even when I was a little child, she never
wanted to be mean

My Mother taught me the benefits we have
if we will pray
And that no matter how busy we are we should
have prayer many times a day

To talk to God is a wonderful
privilege, she says
And an answer to all of life's
problems, He always has

So I thank You, God, for a
wonderful Mother
Who, except for You, God, has love for
me, greater than any other

Ethel,
Such a smart mother you have. She raised a precious daughter! Great write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Sue, thanks for your sweet comments. My Mom has it in a frame on the wall, with the one I wrote in 1985 for my Dad right along beside it. Thank you.


With love To All,
Ethel

Now I know why you turned out to be such a special person--you had a special mother!
She must have loved this very much!

Hi, sweet Linda. Yes, my Mom loved this then and now. She has a copy of it in a frame on the wall right next to the one I wrote for my Dad for Father's Day that year. I asked her if I could post it here. I read some of the replies to her the other day and she loved them. Thanks for your sweet reply.


Love To All,
Ethel
