For Moms
She was there at the beginning
When the world was new to you -
She was there to turn to happy times
Those when, you were hurt or blue.
She was there to listen to your thoughts
And when you asked, to give advice -
She was there to tell you, "Those don't match!" Or, "Hon, you sure look nice."
She was there with you at nighttime
To help you say your prayers _
She was there to tell you, "It's alright."
When you had a dream that scares.
She was there at morning time
To get you up and out of bed -
She was there when you didn't feel good (or did)
To say, "You'd best stay home, instead."
She was there when you were hungry
And when you had those dirty clothes -
She was there when you needed her (How she knew? Only heaven knows.)
She was there at the beginning And she'll be there your whole life through -She'll be there in your mind and heart Just like a mother is supposed to do. - By Del Abe JonesWhen Mother Reads Aloud, the PastWhen Mother reads aloud, the pastSeems real as every day;I hear the tramp of armies vast,I see the spears and lances cast,I join the thrilling fray;Brave knights and ladies fair and proudI meet when Mother reads aloud.When Mother reads aloud, far landsSeem very near and true;I cross the deserts' gleaming sands,Or hunt the jungle's prowling bands,Or sail the ocean blue.Far heights, whose peaks the cold mists shroud,I scale, when Mother reads aloud. When Mother reads aloud, I longFor noble deeds to do...To help the right, redress the wrong;It seems so easy to be strong,So simple to be true.Oh, thick and fast the visions crowd- By Anonymous Your Arms Were Always OpenYour arms were always openYour arms were always openwhen I needed a hugYour heart understandwhen I needed a friendYour gentle eyes were sternwhen I needed a lessonYour strength and loveguided me and gave me wingsto help me soar.- By Anonymous
