FROM DANIEL ON MY BIRTHDAY AWWWW

Mom

To a very special person,
on this a very special day...
Just a few kind words,
to the guiding light,
that has helped us find our way.
To the amazing person,
who taught right from wrong,
The spirit that wouldn't be broken,
although the road was long.
Going without,
so we could have,
being a wonderful Mom,
while doubling for Dad.
You never gave up,
and we never will,
because the spirit within you,
lives in us still..
For a special mom,
on this your special day,
know you are loved,
for all of your special ways.....

Daniel 2008

A MOTHERS LOVE (A POEM WRITTEN FOR ME BY MY SON DANIEL)
Current mood: touched
Category: Writing and Poetry

MY SON DANIEL WROTE THIS POEM FOR ME TODAY, I WAS SO TOUCHED BY IT AND WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL

A MOTHERS LOVE

I could have believed what many have said

I could let these thoughts, consume my head

I could have easily succumbed to this negativity

I could have listened to those who said you will "never be"

I could of listened when those close, said "you can't"

I could have said things I could never recant

I could have joined them in their pessimistic views

Positive or negative how would I choose

I chose to surround myself with those who believe

I chose to hear "you can be what you wanna' be"

I chose to live my life to the fullest, as if every day were my last

I chose to stay positive, and forget the naysayers of my past

I chose to take the road less traveled

I chose to lead, and set an example

I chose to be what I wanted to be

I was able to do this because you believed in me...

WINGS...DEDICATED TO MY CHILDREN

     "WINGS" 1991 

   You were born to Me one by one,

each so small and full of fun.

and as You grow day by day,

I know in My Heart that You'll leave someday.

   And when Your grown, is My job done??

as Your leaving one by one.

I'll have to let go but I won't know how,

I'll want you with Me as I do now.

   I'll try to smile and not to grieve,

We all have the right to grow and leave.  

earning Your wings after eighteen years,

wings I'm weaving with sweat and tears.

   And I pray those wings are woven tight,

to guide You through Life as You take flight. 

   BY: KAREN...1991

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH, LOVE MOM

WRITTEN FOR AND DEDICATED TO: MY  MOM               WHO  IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME                               "THOSE HAPPY SIMPLE DAYS" 1986                     I confess I can't remember,, the day that I was born, I dont recall my first words,  or the clothes that I had worn.   I don't remember playing, in a crib with building blocks, and I dont know where I was, the first time that I walked.      but... Mom have I told you.... of all my memories ??? the first thing I remember, is you being there with me.   And through everything that's happened, in these passing years, you have always been there, through my laughter and my tears.         Mom you've been my shelter, when my heartaches wouldn't mend,  and Mom have I told you.... that you are My best friend??   so many things you taught me, before I left that nest, like stand up tall, open your Heart... and always do your best.      I'm raising my own Children, and will til' They are grown.   Still sometimes when I'm frightened, My mind slips far away, to skinned up knees and bandages.... and those happy simple days                    BY: Karen 1986      I LOVE YOU MOM
