My Mother

Today is my Mother's Birthday!!  I am so lucky to have such a wonderful mother! Ever since I can remember she has always put others ahead of herself. My Mother has always been there everytime I have struggled with my life. She has taken care of me and even taken care of my kids many times when I was in a bind. I am grateful that she is paying for all of my college expenses in full so that I don't have to take out any student loans. She has taught me that things are more appreciated when earned. Thank you for being that person that I can always count on no matter what!  Happy Happy Birthday Mother! I LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH! 

Happy Birthday To My Mom

All my life you've been there

Any time and any where

When I was young

And even now that I am older.

I have always known

You've done the best you could

Circumstances change, lives change

But family ties are strong.

I want you to know how much

I respect what you have done

For me, for others

And even for yourself.

When problems knock you down

You just slowly, steadily,

adjust your shoulders

And then move on.

Many others would give up,

On love and on life, but you haven't.

You've continued,

Stronger, calmer, and with determination.

That's what you are,

strong, loving, caring, and dependable.

And yet still more

You are my mom.

And I love you.

Happy Birthday Mom,

With lots of love,

MaryBeth
