Motherhood

Inspired by the words of Jim Brickman's song A Mother's Love.

Thank you for watching over me

All of the sleepless nights you lay awake

Thank you for knowing when to hold me close

when to let me go

 

 
Thank you for every stepping stone

And for the path that always leads me home

I thank you for the time you took

to see the heart inside of me

You gave me the roots to start this life

and then you gave me wings to fly

and I learned to dream

 because you believed in me

There's no power like it on this earth

No treasure equal to its worth

The gift of a mother's love

Thank you for every sunlit day

That filled the corners of my memory 

Thank you for every selfless unsung deed

 I know you did for me

Thank you for giving me the choice

To search my soul till I could find my voice

And I thank you for teaching me

To be strong enough to bend

You gave me the roots to start this life

and then you gave me wings to fly

and I learned to dream

because you believed in me

There's no power like it on this earth

No treasure equal to its worth

 The gift of a mother's love

I thank God for a mother's love.

Every Mom's memory....
a small hand reaching up with the gift of a "dandy-lion",


  ...and here's a tiara to make and wear proudly

How are you spending your Mother's Day?  Do you have special plans?  Hoping for a fun day with your own little ones?   Or are you sharing a quiet cup of tea and memories with the loved one who's like a mother to you?
Have a wonderful week-end!
