My mother sweeping up the floor, Or greeting neighbors at the door, Stopping for a cup of tea With cookies and some milk for me. She'd make the bed, do other chores Before hanging the clothes outdoors. My mother led a busy life And still she was a happy wife. The meals that from my mother came Would put all restaurants to shame. She was the world to Dad and me. She's with me still in memory. I see her shining chestnut hair And tortoise comb to hold it there. She kept it all in ordered check Except for curls on back of neck. She gazed at me with mother's pride Until the very day she died. I know there'll never be another Who could love me as did Mother. Mother's always in my prayer, I ask that she be happy there With floors to sweep or beds to make; Someone to love for love's own sake. By:Joyce 5/4/02 |

"Mother's always in my prayer, I ask that she be happy there With floors to sweep or beds to make; Someone to love for love's own sake."  (tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless You, sweet friend, now I am flooding with tears reading this, you are a true angel as your mother is too and I know deep down with all my heart she will never forget you and will always love you, as she is continuing to make beds of golden grace and she is always knitting the many lovely memories and blessings of you into the tapestry of her dreams! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is a very touching and hesartfelt Mothers Day dedication, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Joyce: Such a lovely poem about your mother in time for Mother's Day. I'm sure your own children feel the same way about you. Betty Lou Hebert |

Joyce, just wonderful! I miss my mother also. There's no love quite like the love of a mother for her children.  |
