MOTHERS'  DAY (from a Mother's perspective)

MOTHERS' DAY (from a Mother's perspective)

A Poem by Ellen Hammond
"

Years after my own mother had passed away, I was asked to write a poem for Mothers' Day. Well, the more I looked for inspiration the harder it was. Then one night, I woke up in the middle of the night to scribble this on paper.

"
 

MOTHERS'  DAY


 
 
 

Mothers' Day was set apart
So each could look within the heart
With love and wisdom to discover
What it means to be a mother.
 

As all show their gratitude
In ways old and new;
I thank God, dear children
For each one of you.
 


When you were an infant
So helpless and new
My heart overflowed
With great love for you.

 

 
As a child you shared your laughter,
Excitement, faith, and joy.
I rediscovered life, through the eyes
Of a young girl or boy.


 
 
There were times of sorrow,
Fears, tears, and pain.
But they'd also enrich me
With the wisdom I'd gain.


 
 
Yes, you are a true blessing,
Much more than you know;
For in your unique way 
You've each caused me to grow.

So sorry about your mother. It must've been hard on you.
My mom is all I have left in my family and I hold her close to me.
Mothers are special.

A lovely tribute to her. I'm sure she was a beautiful soul.
