mother love

My Mother

For as long as I can remember
You have been by my side
to give me support
to give me confidence
to give me help

For as long as I can remember
You have always been the person I looked up to
so strong
so sensitive
so pretty

For as long as I can remember
You have always provided stability within our family
full of laughter
full of tears
full of love

So much of what I have become
is because of you
and I want you to know
that I appreciate you, thank you
and love you
more than words can express.

Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

"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 the 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
