Special thoughts of my Mom on this day. The one who taught me about matching socks, pants and shirts, and to always open the door for her.

and of all of you.

Bless your pea pickin' hearts.

A Mother's Love -- Jim Brickman (featuring Mark Masri)

Thank you for watching over me
All of the sleepless nights you lay awake
Thank you for knowing when to hold me close
when to let me go

Thank you for every stepping stone
And for the path that always leads me home
I thank you for the time you took
to see the heart inside of me

You gave me the roots to start this life
and then you gave me wings to fly
and I learned to dream
because you believed in me

There's no power like it on this earth
No treasure equal to its worth
The gift of a mother's love

thank you for every sunlit day
that fill the corners of my memory
thank you for every selfless unsung deed
I know you did for me

thank you for giving me the choice
to search my soul til I could find my voice
and I thank you for teaching me
to be strong enough to bend

You gave me the roots to start this life
and then you gave me wings to fly
and I learned to dream
because you believed in me

There's no power like it on this earth
No treasure equal to its worth
The gift of a mother's love

I thank God for a mother's love...

This is a poem I wrote years ago, just after my mom passed away.

It's one of the poems in my poetry thread,
but thought it would be nice to share in this Mother's Day thread, too.

A Mothers Love

Mothers are a special breed
They fill a childs every need
Leading the way with tender loving care
A gift that only mothers can share

Crying with a scraped up knee
Child comes running with a plea
Fix it mom so I can play
With my friends I want to stay

Teenage years filled with growing pain
A mother that's almost going insane
Asking mom, can I borrow the car
I promise mom, I won't go far

Off to college to get a degree
A mothers tears is what I see
Sad to see the child go away
Happy to know she led the way
