 An Angel or A Mother? So much has been taken away So much seems unreal So much endured in just one day So much for One to feel This one I speak of The one that owns my respect The giver of so much love And the strong urge to protect As she often watches her son Fight for the strength to go on Praying he won’t say he’s done Sitting nights unmoved beyond dawn My words could never tell you What this woman means to me As I watch all she’s been through The things a mother should not see I’ve asked her how she does it For one day would leave me weak She says she does what she sees fit Just like any mother...no great feat I beg to differ, I don’t think so She must be an Angel like no other Sent to care for this boy and help him grow An Angel given the esteemed title of...MOTHER. Dedicated to my Dear friend Monika. You may have heard me speak of Shane...”Pooh”...this is the amazing woman that is his mother. Hold me for yesterday Kiss me for tomorrow But love me for today. |

Butterfly this is PERFECT!!! yes, I too am in awe of the strength that parents who care for sick children must daily find in themselves. I have been so moved by Monika's story since you shared it...she has so many burdens... as parents we do it because we love them...its not ever a question of cant. thank you for sharing this and her and Shane with us, as it is a reminder of how much we should be grateful for. beautiful poem SS...i know she was very moved. ~as always, Take Care,JM~ -------------- I know it's been a long road To get these towns behind me and I Will gladly reap what we may sow-- I am there for you ... and you're there for me ... Are you waiting for Heart in hand Woman and man See me where I stand I am Heart Heart in hand ~vertical horizon~ |

Brandyn* Thank you, although I could never do this woman justice. J.M.* it is an inspiration to see what a mother's love can do and how someone who should have reason to complain....does not. Thank you as always for reading and most of all for understanding...my sweet S.S. Hold me for yesterday Kiss me for tomorrow But love me for today. |
