Mother
If I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me,
if I could give you sapphires
for each truth you’ve helped me see,
if I could give you rubies,
for the heartache that you’ve known,
if I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you’ve shown, Then you’d have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies,
that would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes. But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
as I’m sure you’re well aware,
so I’ll give you gifts more precious-
my devotion, love and care.

Mother When you're a child she walks before you,
To set an example. When you're a teenager she walks behind you
To be there should you need her. When you're an adult she walks beside you
So that as two friends you can enjoy life together.
~anonymous God's Masterpiece is Mother God took the fragrance of a flower...
The majesty of a tree...
The gentleness of morning dew...
The calm of a quiet sea...
The beauty of the twilight hour...
The soul of a starry night...
The laughter of a rippling brook...
The grace of a bird in flight...
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through
He called it simply - Mother.
~Herbert Farnham They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea,
He wields a mighty spectre,
O'er lesser powers that be,
But a mightier power and stronger,
Man from his throne has hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle,
Is the hand that rocks the world.
