Happy Mother's Day to . . .

My Mom

You devoted your early years to us

cooking and sewing

and teaching us responsibility.

*

You taught us the value of family

and togetherness

and to love others as we love ourselves.

*

You gave up career to keep your home

and assure that four children

had a loving place to live.

*

You did not expect us to be just like you

and encouraged

our varied interests.

*

You are and will always be a part of us

We, a part of you

your offspring

*

Never too old to run into your arms

and say

"I LOVE YOU!"
