M-O-T-H-E-R
“M” is for the million things she gave me,
“O” means only that she’s growing old,
“T” is for the tears she shed to save me,
“H” is for her heart of purest gold;
“E” is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
“R” means right, and right she’ll always be,
Put them all together, they spell “MOTHER,”
A word that means the world to me.
-Howard Johnson

A Mother’s Love
Your arms were always open when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly.
-Sarah Malin

For a mother is the only person on earth
Who can divide her love among ten children
And each child still have all her love.
-Anonymous

“All mothers are rich when they love their children. there are no poor mothers, no ugly ones, no old ones. their love is always the most beautiful of joys.” ~Maurice Maeterlinck

“The word ‘Mother’ conjures up cozy visions of homespun family life: Mother baking cookies, mother sympathetically listening to your tragedies, mother as your champion.”
~ Victoria Secunda

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. -Washington Irving
