TO MY MOTHER

"For as long as I can remember
you were always by my side to give me support, 
to give me confidence, to give me help

For as long as I can remember
you were always the person I looked up to ,
so strong, so sensitive, so pretty

For as long as I can remember
and still today you are,
everything a mother should be..
For as long as I can remember
you always provided stability
within our family full of laughter,
full of tears, full of love
Whatever I have become is because of you 
and I thank you forever for our relationship.

A Heart For Children

"One hundred years from now
It will not matter What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much I had in my bank
Nor what my clothes looked like.
One hundred years from now It will not matter
What kind of school I attended,
What kind of typewriter I used
How large or small my church,
But the world may be
a little better because
I was important in the life of a child."

~OUR MOTHER'S GIFT~

"Our mother's move from us
to dance with ancestors,
who embrace them in joy, and love.

Our mother's leave us,
but they don't.
Their smile, soft touch,
live in our hearts,
their  voice sings to us
across night and cold dawn.
Words that show the path,
we will walk.

Caution for the ones we must avoid.

Mother's shine in our eyes,
and reflect connection from the eyes of our children.
We have been blessed with the beat of  their hearts
spirit of protection.

We have been blessed to live within their laughter,
bathe in their tears.

We have been blessed for this embrace,
we will pass to our children."
Thanks, Linda
