Wonderful
Mother
God
made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
Pat O'Reilly
"Youth
fades; love droops,
the leaves of friendship fall;
A mother's secret hope outlives them all."
Oliver Wendell Holmes 1809-1894
Once
upon a memory
Someone wiped away a tear
Held me close and loved me,
Thank you, Mother dear.
A
Mother's Blessing
Of
all the special joys in life,
The big ones and the small,
A mother's love and tenderness
Is the greatest of them all.
Richer
than Gold
You
may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be,
I had a mother who read to me.
Strickland Gillilan 1869-1954
To
My Other Mother
You are the other Mother I received,
The day I wed your son.
And
I want to thank you Mom,
For the loving things you've done.
You've
given me a gracious Man,
With whom I share my life.
You
are his lovely Mother,
And I his lucky Wife.
You
used to pat his little head,
And now I hold his hand.
You
raised in love a little boy,
And then gave me the Man.
