Constant, she quietly pushes
but yet never fails to see
everything that I am
and all that I can be.

With her words of encouragement
and hugs sent from the heart
she has given me her guidance
from the very start.

A woman so very special
with whom my life I do share
in these, her gentle ways
I've grown in her care.

Her beauty, grace and love
has touched my spirit  ~like no other~
I'm thankful for this woman
that I have grown to know as MOTHER....





I wish you joy
I wish you peace
and that every star you see
is within your reach..
and I wish
you still loved me.....(jodee messina)

What Mother wouldn't want
a tribute such as this...
it is beautiful, and I am sure
the one it is intended for...
has mascara running down her cheeks...

you have no idea how this touched my
heart, and then again maybe you do!
sooo beautiful, I'm very happy for both
you and your Mom, that you share such
a wonderful bond! Take care and Happy
Holidays,
Amy

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

amy, she is mother by heart only...as my own passed when I was just a baby, but in this woman I have known what it is like to have a mom...and I am truly grateful for that gift!

Gentle Spirit,
What a precious tribute to your "mother."  
It definitely lets her know you appreciate her - I hope you have given this poem to her!  It is precious, and i hope my kids feel this way about me! (ihopeihopeihope)

Donna, this is so sweet and loving.
I'm sure that your "Mother" feels
just as much love in her heart for you.
Hugs to you both

This is really beautiful, Donna.  Your wonderful tribute belongs cast in stone.  Your Mom must be very proud of the wonderful woman you have become.

All that needs is a bow and that is probably the nicest present she will get under her tree!  Lovely!

                    
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
