I wasn't always perfect, I wasn't always ideal
I didn't always clean my room, or eat all of my meal
I stayed out too late, I did things that I knew I shouldn't
I wanted to test my wings, and got mad when I couldn't
We are so much alike, my mother and I
We argued sometimes, and didn't always see eye to eye
I couldn't wait to be out on my own
To try out the ropes, to be fully grown
You were never afraid to speak what you thought
You knew what I'd done, well before I got caught
It wasn't until I was out of your home, I realized what I missed,
when I started to roam
A friend, a companion, who would always defend
Giving love unconditionally, a love that didn't end
Even when I wasn't perfect, ideal, or good
When the going got tough, I knew I always could
Turn to my mum, with her good advice
Even then I turned to you, as I became a wife
I thank you so much, for all that you've done
For what you have made me, for what I've become
Now I'm proud of the fact, that I am so much like you
I hope that I continue too, in all the things I do
These words canot express, just what you mean to me
But I will strive every day, to make sure that you see!
I love you mum with all my heart!!!

Mothers do things out of love,
Never imagining that what they do
May become unforgettable memories
In the hearts of their children.

"A MOTHER'S HUG"
A child sits at her window
Watching storm clouds in the sky
Knowing that she’s frightened
Not really knowing why
Maybe it’s the thunder
Could be it’s the rain
Maybe it’s the lightning
Mirrored on the window pane
But it really doesn’t matter
What fears the day may bring
If you’re safe and snug in a mother’s hug
You can face most anything
So soon the smiles of childhood
Turn Into teenage frowns
It seems so much of growing up
Consists of falling down
And through those painful middle years
I soon would come to know
The pain that seems to hurt the most
Is the kind that doesn’t show
But it really doesn’t matter
What fears the day may bring
If you’re safe and snug in a mother’s hug
You can face most anything
Now children do get older
But a child they still remain
Childish fears of darkness
Give way to worldly pain
Maybe it’s the sadness
When you lose someone you know
Maybe it’s the grief that comes
From reaping what you sow
But it really doesn’t matter
What fears the day may bring
If you’re safe and snug in a mother’s hug
You can face most anything
Now I still look out those windows
At storm clouds in the sky
At hopes and fears, joys and tears
Of many years gone by
And I thank God for the blessing
Of allowing me to be
The one who gives the comfort
When my children come to me
Cause it really doesn’t matter
What fears the day may bring
When you’re safe and snug in a mother’s hug
You can face most anything!!!
Happy mothers day to all the mums all around the world!
Being a mom is not just a job....
it's an adventure! :-)
