"Mother of the Year, Now and Always"
I need for you to know, Mom,
the depth of my love for you.
I've only begun to realize,
while reflecting on our past,
and watching my children grow,
the years flying by all too fast.
I've come to realize just how much
you unselfishly sacrificed for me.
As your little playful child, Mom,
your precious, loving qualities
I tended not to see.
But, oh how sweet I see them now
shining in your smiling care-worn face.
Your gentle hands, words of wisdom
and tenderhearted grace.
Looking at you, Mom, each strand
of silver I see in your lovely hair,
is just greater and sweeter evidence
of your ongoing loving care.
Thank you for being my mother,
for your patient, self-sacrificing ways.
You are my "Mother of the Year" forever,
so deserving of all my praise!

Poetry: On mothers
by Bob Mundle
Mother's cardigan.
My mother's cardigan
Still hangs on the back of her chair,
A fluffy pink confection
Of kitten-soft mohair,
Take me back
Back to a time
Life was different
Things were simple
Surrounded by love
And adoration for each other
We stuck close
And
The Morning Light
There's a place in the morning light,
a moment...there just for awhile,
when the newness of the day shines
Mother
I left behind what created me,
She who held me in her arms
And whispered to me as a bairn.
I left behind what made me
by Eric Kroll
My Mother a Class Act
Dinner setting, quite frankly I never seen so many
Bursting the pyramid into pepper, tonight's meal
