A Mother's Love
There are times when only a Mother's love Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints And calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a Mother's love Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a Mother's faith Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence We need from day to day.
For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels And sent from God above... - Author Unknown.
You Were There
You were there when we took our first steps,
And went unsteadily across the floor.
You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided,
Until our steps took us out the door...
You worry now "Are they ok?"
Is there more you could have done?
As we walk the paths of our unknown
You wonder"Where have my children gone?"
Where we are is where you have led us,
With your special love you showed us a way,
To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make.
Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day.
And where we go you can be sure,
In spirit you shall never be alone.
For where you are is what matters most to us,
Because to us that will always be home... - Author Unknown.
You Know Your a Mom When...
1. You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.
2. You find yourself cutting your husbands' sandwiches into cute shapes.
3. You can't bear to give away baby clothes - it's so final.
4. You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "NOT in your good clothes!"
5. You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.
6. You hire a sitter because you have't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the night checking on the kids.
7. You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything
Mom and Me
Best friends forever mom and me

a shoulder to cry on secrets to share
Warm hearts and hands that really care. - Author Unknown.
What Is a Mother?
A mother can be almost any size or any age, but she won't admit to anything over thirty. A mother has soft hands and smells good. A mother likes new dresses, music, a clean house, her children's kisses, an automatic washer and Daddy.
A mother doesn't like having her children sick, muddy feet, temper tantrums, loud noise or bad report cards. A mother can read a thermometer (much to the amazement of Daddy) and like magic, can kiss a hurt away.
A mother can bake good cakes and pies but likes to see her children eat vegetables. A mother can stuff a fat baby into a snowsuit in seconds and can kiss sad little faces and make them smile.
A mother is underpaid, has long hours and gets very little rest. She worries too much about her children but she says she doesn't mind at all.And no matter how old her children are, she still likes to think of them as her little babies.
She is the guardian angel of the family, the queen, the tender hand of love. A mother is the best friend anyone ever had. A mother is love. - Author Unknown
To Lead a Girl to Womanhood
Open her eyes to the blessings around her
Show her that beauty and goodness surround her.
Help her to trust in the future, not fear it.
Teach her that dreams are the winds of the spirit,
Guide her with wisdom and gentle persuasion
For she is God's pleasure -His flower of creation. - - Author Unknown
