A Tribute to all the mothers I know.....
There are times when a mother's love
can understand our tears
can soothe our dissapointments
and calm our fears.

JOY, MADDIE'S MOM.
there are times when only a mother's love
can share the joy we feel
when something we have dreamed about
quite suddenly  becomes real
there are times when only a mother's faith
can help us in life's way
and inspire us with the confidence
that we need from day to day.

for a mother's heart and a mother's faith
and a mother's steadfast love
were fashioned by the Angels
and sent from God above.
"When God fashioned women, he created us with a special capacity to love.  A woman can house a baby in her womb and nurture her children with great care... a woman has the capacity to form deep and lasting relationships... share intimately from the heart, to be loyal even in times of great difficulty.  God made women to reflect much of His own character and equipped them with the gifts of his love."

"Youth fades, love droops, the leaves of friendship fall;
A mother's secret hope outlives them all.........
Oliver Wendell Homes
God made a wonderful mother
a mother who never grows old
He made her smile of the sunshine
and He moulded her heart of pure gold
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars
in her cheeks fair roses you see
God made a wonderful mother
and He gave that dear mother to me.
