Kept-Posted

Mother’s Day is just a day away. I thought I would share this very nice poem for all the mother’s out there. Isn’t it special to be thanked by your child for bringing him up to life all these years? I never realized how much my mother has cared for me and put all her love on me until I become a mother myself. It is just right to give her that special day present of “Thank you, mom. You’re the best. I love you!” set of words. Material gifts aren’t that necessary. A simple poem or note is meaningful enough, don’t you agree?

MOTHER

You ushered me into this great world of light,
You pillowed my helpless and innocent head;
You fed me; and guarded my crib in the night,
You could have been selfish, but loved me instead.

You watched o’er my sickbed and hushed my weak cry;
You cared when discouragement crept in my way,
You asked, “What’s the trouble?” when you heard me sigh;
But best of all, Mother, you taught me to pray.

Thank you for caring when I should have cared;
Thank you for praying when I’ve failed to pray;
Thank you for bearing what I haven’t shared;
I’m so glad, dear Mother, that this is YOUR day!
(M. G. C.)
