The United States will celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday May 8th. I felt it an appropriate time to acknowledge mothers and to wish all moms in the world a Happy Mother’s Day.
Do you appreciate your mother and do you show her so
Do you tell her that you love her so that mom’s heart will know
Did you call your mother today and ask how she was
Just to talk for no reason, just because
Do you hug her and kiss her and express your love
Or do you have a shield, a guard up that you are above
Remember the dinners and breakfasts and lunches
And the countless times you were told she loved you bunches
The day would begin at the bottom of the stairs
Rise and shine were her words given freely with cheers
Was her love for you so simple and always unconditional
But were you selfish, greedy and wanting something additional
Do you respect your mother and the wisdom of her years
Can you still hear the times she went to bed with tears
When you were dirty she bathed you and hungry you were fed
She lovingly had you say your prayers as she tucked you in bed
Were you taught the difference between right and wrong
Did you know then that life’s journey can be painful and long
With life there is death, just no other way out
My mom died this past year, but she is on heaven’s route
She was the matriarch of the family, fun loving and free
Her joy, laughter and love brought us all so much glee
So Happy Mother’s Day mom, I miss you so much
However, you’re not far as you reach down with your touch
So it is your two granddaughters I’ll wish Happy Mother’s Day to
You would be so proud of them mom, for they love just like you
To all the mothers in the world it is your day of dedication
Now it is the time for your children to openly display their appreciation
If your mom is still here then you can go the extra mile
Do something special, flowers, cards, I love you with a smile
She may not be here next year, remember that fact
And good deeds like bad can not be taken back
Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Very beautiful. I always give enormous amounts of hugs and kisses to her each day but sometimes she still get emotional, but she’s very cute. Nice to know you, you are a very unique person!
Awww.. I visit my mother every month even if I have to make a night trip for 10 hours. There’s no one in the world who can love me like she does. I love the message in this poem.
