From The Hall of Celebration,in 'My Secret Heart...'



...For You Mother…


Because you are so special


I had to take some time,


To say, when God was making mothers


I’m glad He made you mine,


He could have given me an average one


Or an “ok” one, that’s true ,


But He decided in His wisdom


To give me one like you!


One who’s been a confidant


A counselor and a friend,


One who’s nursed my heartaches


And helped my wounds to mend,


One who’s words of comfort


Have brought peace and joy betimes,


One whose insight was so exact


I’d thought you’d read my mind,


One who’s words of wisdom


Tho jeered at one time by me,


Have turned out to be the true st


And plain for all to see,


Remember the friends you said were true friends


And the ones you said were not?


Again your wisdom was true proven


Right more times than naught,


 


So you see, He did not give me one


That could not stand the test,


No, instead He gave me you,


He gave, His very best…


…Samishii Suzume~…

Sounds like you have a wonderful, intelligent, perceptive and supportive mother. She seems to have an honorable son also in you.

I don't know a mother who wouldn't be happy to receive such a tribute!

David, this is one of the most beautiful and tender tributes I've read to a mother. Very well done, my friend. Your love shines!
Love,
