"To the world you might just be one person,
but to one person you might just be the world."

I lost my mother a few years back, but there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her and miss her company. She was witty and charming, loving and caring. To me, she was the most beautiful woman God ever created, even though she was worn from too many years of hard work, late nights and six very active children. As busy as she was, my Mom always had time for everyone. And you never felt like an intruder! You always felt welcome and a whole lot better for having been with her. Mom, I loved you then and I love you still today. I know that you are in heaven, arms wide open waiting to welcome us home when our time comes. Thank you for all the years you gave and sacrificed for us - for me. You are my best friend, Mom, and I miss you.
My love always,
Debbie

p.s. Call your mom this weekend and tell her you love her. Then tell her that I too send my very best wishes and thanks for the sacrifices she is making for you and others. She's a wonderful person.

"We only have One Mom, One Mommy,
One Mother in this World, One life.
Don't wait for the Tomorrow's
to tell Mom, you love her"

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.

AND GRANDMA'S TOO...
"While we honor all our mothers
with words of love and praise.
While we tell about their goodness
and their kind and loving ways.
We should also think of Grandma,
she's a mother too, you see....
For she mothered my dear mother
as my mother mothers me."

MOTHER'S LOVE
Her love is like an island
In life's ocean, vast and wide.
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the wind, the rain, the tide.

'Tis bound on the north by Hope,
By Patience on the West,
By tender Counsel on the South
And on the East by Rest.

Above it like a beacon light
Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;
And thro' the changing scenes of life
I find a haven there.

MORE THAN A MOTHER
When God set the world in place,
when He hung the stars up in space,
when He made the land and the sea,
then He made you and me.

He sat back and saw all that was good,
He saw things to be as they should.
Just one more blessing He had in store;
He created a mother, but whatever for?

He knew a mother would have a special place
to shine His reflection on her child's face.
A mother will walk the extra mile
just to see her children smile.
She'll work her fingers to the bone
to make a house into a home.

A mother is there to teach and guide,
a mother will stay right by your side.
She'll be there through your pain and strife,
she'll stay constant in your life.

A mother will lend a helping hand
until you have the strength to stand.
She'll pick you up when you are down,
when you need a friend she'll stick around.

A mother is one who listens well,
will keep her word; will never tell.

A mother never pokes or pries
but stands quietly by your side,
giving you the strength you need,
encouraging you to succeed.

A mother is one who can be strong
when you need someone to lean on.

You're more than a mother to me;
a reflection of Him in your face I see,
a love that knows no boundaries.

I'm glad that you chose to be
all this and more to me.
You share a love that knows no end,
you're more than my mother,
you are my friend.
