Mother's Day Tribute
Icon Dear Dr. Laura,

Many of my friends have told me to send this to you…


MOTHER'S DAY TRIBUTE

They come in a small package, and mission from above
With special talents, and hearts full of love
We watch them when small, much different than boys
Softer and kinder, more sensible toys

A drive within, not yet mature
To be a Mother, and have family for sure
Girls now, but Mother to be
Her talents arrive, for the world to see
We have all heard the words, which came from our Mother
We pass them down, from one to another
What's in your mouth, get out of there
Take your bath, and wash your hair
Pick up your room and don't argue with me
Reading books, teaching 1 2 3

Stop and walk, do not run
Washing the clothes, with dirt from fun
Fruit Loops cereal, peanut butter and jelly
Spank my bottom, tickle my belly
Do your homework then get ready for bed
Put on your jammies, a kiss on the head
Screams and cries, in the middle of the night
Mom's loving face, God's beam of light
Worry life long, her kids always in mind
Never ending care, leaving nothing behind

It was God's plan, that we all have a Mother
To teach us how, to love one another
Tenderness and care, the world they teach
Respect and honor, we must show to each
Even our Lord, who died on the cross
Looked down on his Mother, who sobbed at her loss
Our life on earth, could never be
Without our Mother, and her love to see
