Just one little wish for you, Mom,
But it’s loving and happy and true-
It’s a wish that the nicest and best things
Will always keep coming to you!

Sweet things you have done!

As the memories you treasure!
Hope your day is sunshine and flowers with happy thoughts to fill the house.
Mother’s Day…
a time for warm thoughts
and fond memories,
for expressing
the feelings and words
that often go unspoken,
for letting
those special people
in our lives know
that they are loved
and appreciated -
always.
Mom, you’re the best. Happy Mother’s Day.
Somehow we always say the least
to those we love the best
And hope our thoughts
are understood.
Although they’re unexpressed -
That’s why it means
so very much,
when days like this are here
To say how very much
you’re loved
each day throughout the year.
Happy Mother’s Day
Thank you for always being there, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day.
You wash my prints from walls and doors,
For I am not careful where I play.
But here is a print you’ll want to keep.
It’s made for you this Mother’s Day.
There’s never been a minute I wasn’t glad you were my Mom.
That Wonderful Mother of Mine
The moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of that wonderful mother of mine.
The birds never sing but a message they bring
Of that wonderful mother of mine.
Just to bring back the time, that was so sweet to me,
Just to bring back the days, when I sat on her knee.
I pray every night to our Father above,
For that wonderful mother of mine.
I ask Him to keep her as long as He can
That — wonderful mother of mine.
There are treasures on earth, that made life seem worthwhile,
But there’s none can compare to my mother’s smile.
You are a wonderful mother, dear old Mother of mine.
You’ll hold a spot down deep in my heart,
‘Till the stars no longer shine.
Your soul shall live on forever,
On through the fields of time.
For there’ll never be another to me,
Each melodious measure,
Oft the teardrops flowing,
Oft they flow from my memory’s treasure.
Mom, you know you’re more than welcome
to come over to my place for dinner,
but there’s one little problem…
…all the food I have needs to be cooked.
Happy Mother’s Day
I’m glad I’ve got you for a mother…
…some stranger wouldn’t have
put up with me this long.

I’ve watched
the wonderful ways

you show us
that you care….
