Happy Mother’s Day
By: Jack Rutherford / May 10, 2014
Everybody’s had one; everybody’s been loved by one. She brought us all into this world. A lady with a heart of gold and we all called her mother. I hope you have yours for a long time.
As Mother’s Day approaches, these things come to mind;
Mother is no longer with us, she has left this world behind.
As I sit here with my thoughts, as the scenes of the past flow;
The memories come flooding back of days so long ago.
When she worked beside my dad, from morning until dusk;
Raising a family, on hard work, love and trust.
I remember well my younger days, working on the farm;
She always said hard labor, never done you any harm.
And she’d never go to sleep at night, ‘cause sometimes we’d be late;
A dedicated mother who didn’t mind the wait.
Now a whole new generation is a part, of God’s abundant plan;
Mother’s name has changed, she’s now known as great and grand.
As I recall the things I did, on my face there is a grin;
It’s fun to sit and reminisce, about what I did back then.
Then my memories always drift, to our last good-bye;
My smile never fades, but a tear comes to my eye.
A mother is a special gift, sent to us from God above;
She is placed in our lives, to show us how to love.
The lessons that she teaches, will remain with us for life;
So tell your mother that you love her, and thank her for the sacrifice.
