A special thank you to Tina, Sassy and Bea for giving words to those emotions we all hold so deeply in our hearts.
To Our Blessed Mother on Mothers Day Our Blessed Mother is without sin God gave her Grace so he could live within Our Mother is from a special place Her heart and life were full of grace To our Lord she gave life and love Her strength to sacrifice came from above She coddled, fed Him, and wiped his tears She saw Him through those tender years Jesus soon grew to be a man, she had to let go Where life was to lead Him she did not know As her Son preformed miracles, what could she have thought? It must have been a joy to see the happiness her Son brought Then the day she stood below the cross What pain, sorrow and agony, her ultimate loss To watch her Son die in such pain She had to wonder what has He to gain? When did she know, it was for us he had to die? How much less would it have made her cry? As a mother, could you put yourself in her place? Could you give your son over to save the human race? God picked Our Mother Mary because He knew She had what it would take to see His plan through. On this Day we owe her so much, and we should say Thank you, our love and praise on this Mother's Day! *Tina Rivenbark*	Mother’s Day 2002 I remember… Your loving hand capping my head as your finger traced my chin The sparkle in your eyes brought to your lips a grin Your gaze held mine through feedings giving security Your laughter placed such joy deep inside of me You sang to me; read me books; we played endless games The legacy you gave to me was one of joy not pain My teen years were a struggle for you as they were for me Thank you Mom for being there as I became who I was to be Thank you for instilling truth and honesty For showing me who Jesus is how he died for me Thank you for not bending for standing firm and tall In your doing this I saw your love most of all Now that I’m a mother my hope is for my children to see A reflection of my mother deep inside of me Sassy 2002	The Month of Mary, May with an "R" Mary, O, Mary-May with an "R" May I call you mother? O, Mother of Jesus O, Mother of God When I feel so alone May I run to your knees And there bury my head? O, tell me "yes", please May I run to your side When I'm wounded and hurt? May my soul still approach you Though it's covered with dirt? O, You Holy Virgin, Who never knew sin Show me the way To once more begin Show me the way Show me your Son Show me the Father And Spirit in One Show me the lessons, As a good mother would, Of how to please God And do only good. O, this month of Mary May with an "R" Draw me closer to Him Never let me be far. Copyright 2006 Beatrice Gordon
