Ode To Mom
Moms are the most important people in our lives. Whether it is the one that raised you, the one that raised your children, or the one that raised the one you love, they are special beings. Heck! None of us would be here if it weren’t for moms. There is no one gesture that would show them how much they mean to us, but thankfully there is a day that we can try to show our love and gratitude. Mother’s Day is the one day we can put all things aside and dedicate ourselves to the moms in our lives. I know that one day isn’t enough, but it’s a start. On behalf of all the sons and daughters, I would like to say that our moms are in our hearts every day, even if we don’t show it all the time. Have a wonderful and well-deserved Mother’s Day.
Here are a couple poems that I thought best express the love for moms…
For My Mom
For all the times that I forgot to “thank you,”
For all the special, little things you do,
For all the words that sometimes go unspoken,
I need to say “I love you, Mom… I do.”
I love you for the way you stop and listen,
And for your support throughout the years,
For teaching me the meaning of compassion,
And sharing in my triumphs and my tears.
And if, at times, I may have seemed ungrateful,
I want to say “I truly hope you see,
That nothing you have done has been forgotten,
And day by day, you mean more to me.”
– Unknown
A Mother’s Love
A Mother’s love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendored miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.
—Helen Steiner Rice
If you are looking to take mom out or buy her something nice, there are lots of great locally owned restaurants, gift shops, and specialty shops that can help you have a special day with your mother.
