Happy Mother's Day











Here's wishing everyone a Happy Mother's Day. Even if you don't have any children of your "own", if you have ever nurtured, raised, protected, tended to, cared for, or cherished a young child, here is a big .. thank you.





Dear Son,

Since you have been born, my hair has turned grey,
I forget what I was about to do several times a day.


I've gained some knowledge, in all things "boy",
Star Wars, Transformers (Are you sure Bakugan is really a toy?)


Your daredevil ways make my heart skip a beat,
I know at some point you'll remember to put down that toilet seat.


I know it's hard to believe, and might sound really strange,
But there isn't one thing about you that I would change.


Your mumbling, your grumbling, the way you drag your feet,
These things make you what you are,
They make you complete.


I want you to know that on this special day,
I'll take whatever comes my way,


No matter what, I'll always be your Mother,
I'll take the whole package,
I don't want any other.
