I found this poem on another blog that I follow and felt that it did a great job of expressing my feelings about my own mother.
Mother’s Day Poem by Kelly 5-3-11
Dirty faces and sticky hands!
Loads of laundry… many demands!
Work, work, work, and more to do still!
Obediently listening to God’s will.
Graciously Mom maintained her poise,
In spite of the mess and the noise.
Mom overlooked the frequent spills.
She looked beyond the task of meals.
She lovingly forgave my numerous faults,
And managed to think on happy thoughts.
Now I’m grown and see the price Mom paid,
For all the memories of love she made.
How I long to model her smile,
To always go the second mile!
She surely was fit to be a Queen,
But chose instead to serve unseen.
I am so grateful for a loving and caring mother. Over the past years I have given tremendous thought to being a mother and what that means to me. This year has been one of learning and adjustments. I am no where near the mother that I want to be nor the wonderful role model that I had but have hope that someday I will be as patient and loving as she is. I love you Mama!
