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 
Howard Johnson (c. 1915)

A MOTHER LOVE 

If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in it's place,
but have not love, I am a "housekeeper"-not a homemaker. 
If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements,
but have not love, My children learn of cleanliness-not godliness. 
Love leaves the dust, and goes in search of a child's laugh. 
Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window. 
Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk. 
Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys. 
Love is present through trials. 
Love reprimands, reproves, and is responsive. 
Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, runs with the child,
then stands aside to let the youth walk into adulthood. 
Love is the key that opens salvation's message to a child's heart.
Before I became a mother, I took glory in my house of perfection.
Now I glory in God's perfection of my child. 
As a mother, there is MUCH I must teach my child,
But the greatest of these is LOVE. 
(Author Unknown) 

FOR YOU MOTHER 

As my first friend, you introduced me to a life enriched 
By your love and warmth ... 
You shaped the way I feel about the world and my place in it today. 

Your confidence in me helped me to believe in myself, 
and your praise and respect enabled me to appreciate my own worth. 

You guided without control and encouraged without pressure. 
You gave your best ... to bring out the best in me. 
You taught me to think my own thoughts and to follow my own dreams, 
To be proud of my achievements and accepting of my mistakes; 
To find peace in each sunset and joy in each sunrise ...to love my life ... 
You knew what to say and how to listen to help me through the rough times 
And to make the good times even more wonderful. 
I took it for granted \that you'd be there when I needed you ... and you always were. 
As I grew older, I made many new friends, but of all the kindness they have shown me, 
Your understanding is still the deepest, your companionship the warmest, 
And your support the most generous. 
I thank you, Mother, for all you have been to me 
my first friend ... and my best friend! 
These warm words are from 

-Paula Finn

When you need someone to stand beside you, 
Mom is near ... 
When you need someone to hear your troubles, 
She will hear ... 
When you need someone to share your burden, 
She will share ... 
When you need to know that someone loves you, 
Mom is there. 

-Thomas J. Langley 

A MOTHER'S LOVE 

A Mothers' Love is like an island 
In life's ocean vast and wide, 
A peaceful quite shelter 
From the restless, rising tide.... 

A Mothers' Love is like fortress 
And we seek protection there 
When the waves of tribulation 
Seem to drown us in despair. 

A Mother's Love a sanctuary 
Where our souls can find sweet rest 
From the struggle and tension 
Of life's fast and futile quest... 

A Mother's Love is like a tower 
Rising far above the crowd, 
And her smile is like the sunshine 
Breaking through a threatening cloud... 

A Mother's Love is like a beacon 
Burning bright with Faith and Prayer 
And though the changing scenes of life 
We can find a Haven There 

For a Mother's Love is fashioned 
After God's enduring love, 
It is endless and unfailing 
Like the love of HIM above...

A MOTHER'S LOVE 

A mother's love is something 
That no one can explain, 
It is made of deep devotion 
And 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 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 splendoured miracle 
Man cannot understand 
And another wondrous evidence 
Of Gods' tender guiding hand. 

WHAT IS A MOTHER? 

A mother is someone to shelter and guide us, 
To love us, whatever we do, 
With a warm understanding and infinite patience 
And wonderful gentleness, too. 
How often a mother means swift reassurance 
In soothing our small, childish fears, 
How tenderly mothers watch over their children 
And treasure them all through the years! 
The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness 
For any mistake, big or small, 
And generous always in helping her family, 
Whose needs she has placed above all. 
A mother can utter a word of compassion 
And make all our cares fall away, 
She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter 
And make life delightful and gay. 
A mother possesses incredible wisdom 
And wonderful insight and skill - 
In each human heart is that one special corner 
Which only a mother can fill!

THANK YOU MOM
I know how often I took you for granted
when I was growing up.
I always assumed you'd be there
when I needed you...
and you always were. 
But I never really thought about what that meant
till I got older and began to realize
how often your time and energy were devoted to me.
so now, for all the times I didn't say it before,
thank you, Mom.... I love you so very much!

God's Masterpiece Is Mother
God took the fragrance of a flower...
The majesty of a tree...
The gentleness of morning dew...
The calm of a quiet sea...
The beauty of the twilight hour...
The soul of a starry night...
The laughter of a rippling brook...
The grace of a bird in flight...
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through
He called it simply - Mother. 
- Herbert Farnham

A MOTHER'S LOVE
There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears. 
There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real. 
There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day. 
For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above...

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."
