I wrote this a year ago..
when I was pretty new to
blogging..and now that
I have some readers-
I thought I would share it with you...
Mother's Day
Some of us have been blessed with wonderful Mothers.
Some of us have Mothers that were not quite so admirable.
Some of us have Mothers that praised us and adored us,
Some of us have Mothers that never said a kind word.
Some of us have Mothers that loved us unconditionally.
Some of us have Mothers that loved us only
if we met all her expectations.
Some of us have Mothers that smiled readily.
Some of us have Mothers that never found much to smile about.
Some of us have Mothers that~
whatever we did~ it is more than they hoped for.
Some of us have Mothers that
no matter WHAT we did-it was never enough.
Some of us have Mothers that had a charmed childhood.
Some of us have Mothers that were raised in pain & shame.
Some of us have Mothers that
need us & want us in their lives.
Some of us have Mothers that are needy
and we seldom see them.
Some of us have Mothers that complete our lives.
Some of us have Mothers that
leave us aching, wanting and empty.
Some of us have Mothers that stand
on this side of the Great Beyond.
Some of us have Mothers that have passed
over this earthly barrier.
Some of us will emulate our Mother.
Some of us will vow to never be
anything like our Mother.
Some of us are happy and fulfilled,
no matter what kind of Mother we had.
Some of us will never be happy
even if we were nurtured by an amazing Mother.
Today I am blessed to be a Mother.
My daughters are blessed to be Mothers, too.
Today I vow that I will be
the best mother (and grandmother) I can be.
Today I vow that I will love
as deeply as I can those that share my life.
Today I know that I am blessed indeed~
Today I hope that you find blessings
in your own life-
and love your Mother
even if it is just because she gave you life.
~Happy Mother's Day from Me to You~
Amen
