When you were eight you gave me a pebble wrapped in bathroom tissue tied with a shoelace with a homemade card saying... happy mommy's day. When you were eighteen you gave me a stone wrapped in flowery paper tied with a bow with a homemade card saying... happy mom's day. When you were twenty eight you gave me a rock wrapped in a box tied with a silk bow with a homemade card with the following words inscribed.... You are the one that raised me from a pebble (newborn) to a stone( teenage rebel) to the rock ( man) I am today. Thank-you mom for everything. I love you. Happy Mother's Day With Love Your Son |

Nice progession in this poem. A pebble wrapped in bathroom tissue and tied with a shoelace really captures the nature of a little boy. Thanks froggy. |

I love the way this poem builds, quietly and with the realisation of growing love from a son to his mother. A lovely poem which touched my heart and made me hope that my sons will one day feel like this.... |

froggy friend ~ The tadpole grew up to be a magnificent bullfrog. This is one of the sweetest and most touching Mother's Day poems that I have ever read and I am tucking this beauty away for safe keeping. Lovely! Lovely! Lovely! Hugs with love, Linda  |
