A Salute To
Mothers
Mothers come
in all sizes and descriptions it's true,
But please
know we're thankful for each one of you.
Some have
many children, some have only one,
But each mother
gave life to a daughter or son.
You may feel
neglected and you may be, it's true,
But at least
for today we want to thank you.
You not only
gave birth but you guided and led,
And you saw
that your children were clothed and were fed.
You taught
us each night to kneel down and pray,
And things
that you told us we remember today.
You may not
always be "with it" or dressed all in style,
But my you
are lovely when at us you smile.
Some of you
mothers are grandmothers too,
So your days
for teaching children are certainly not through.
Grandchildren
love grandmothers and need them you see,
To love them
and teach them and their friend to be.
Thank God
you're a mother and enjoy today,
And know that
we mean all the good things we say.
We love you
and need you every day of the year,
And we're
glad to express it when Mother's Day is here.
We tell God
we're thankful for each one of you,
But so often
we're neglectful and forget to tell you.
So as children
or grandchildren or as husbands too,
We say and
we mean, "MOTHERS WE LOVE YOU."

Happy Mother's Day to All!
