After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, ‘I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

Mother gently tucked me in
When I was just a tot
She always read me nursery rhymes
And sang to me a lot.

Your arms were always open
when I needed a hug.
Your heart understand
when I needed a friend.

Our mother is the sweetest and
Most delicate of all.
She knows more of paradise
Than angels can recall.

“It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn’t.” – Barbara Kingsolver
“Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs… since the payment is pure love.” – Mildred B. Vermont

I wish I could tell you, Mom
how much you mean to me….
But there are no words to say
how much I admire you…

You’re a friend on whom I can depend,
You make me feel I’m never alone.
You have a very special way of cheering up a day,
And look upon my problems as your own.

This wish for you Mother
is straight from the heart.
With more special meaning
than words can impart…

Mom, you’ve given me so much,
Love from your heart
and the warmth of your touch.
The gift of life and you’re a friend to me.
We have a very Special Bond
which only comes from God…

My Mother, my friend so dear
Throughout my life you’re always near.
A tender smile to guide my way
You’re the sunshine to light my day.
