Happy Mother's Day


Only One Mother


Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
But only one mother to dry your eyes,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
But only one mother to have forever
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
But only one mother to help you try
Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather,
But only one mother to treat us like treasure
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
But only one mother to help us move on
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
But only one mother the world wide over
Hundreds of people to tell apart
But only one mother to give us her heart


This is a picture of me with my mom.  I'm fortunate to have her and my grandmother in my life and to be blessed with my son.  
Have a wonderful Mother's Day!

what a beautiful poem that is. Your mom is very young looking. I would have guessed it was a picture of you and your sister.
