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 (c. 1915)
My Mother
Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.
Ann Taylor
Wonderful Mother
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
Pat O'Reilly
Mother's Hands
Dear gentle hands have stroked my hair
And cooled my brow,
Soft hands that pressed me close
And seemed to know somehow
Those fleeting moods and erring thoughts
That cloud me day,
Which quickly melt beneath their suffrage
And pass away.
No other balm for earthly pain
Is half so sure,
No sweet caress as filled with love
Nor half so pure.
No other soul so close akin that understands,
No touch that brings such perfect peace as
Mother's hands.
W. Dayton Wedgefarth
A Picture Memory
A picture memory brings to me;
I look across the years and see
Myself beside my mother's knee.
I feel her gentle hand restrain
My selfish moods, and know again
A child's blind sense of wrong and pain.
But wiser now, a man grey grown,
My childhood's needs are better known.
My mother's chastening love I own.
John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)
The Most Beautiful Name.. Mother..
The most beautiful name in the world of words
For a Mother is truly all things in one persona:
The body that gives hers to breathe into you
life
The hand that rocks the cradle of sweet lullabye
The eyes that watch over you every step of
the way
The heart that loves you in a way only she
can
The arms that hold you with tender firm grip
The face that smiles with pride at her handiwork......
The handkerchief that wipes away all mournful
tears
The bandage that covers a multitude of wounds
The taxi cab that drives you to your field
of dreams
The lipstick that glosses you to a polished
finish
The needle and thread that sews together broken
pieces
The spice that flavors you with sugar sweet
kisses......
The nurturer that feeds her young ones with
care
The teacher that instills your manners and
morality
The protector that shelters you from harms
way
The mediator that negotiates your contract
in life
The rock that stands firmly your foundation
is built upon
The crusader of peace that guides the way
to your shepherd......
The most beautiful name in the world of words
Is indeed the person that is called ...MOTHER...
