When I had children I decided to start a new tradition. Instead of me being the only recipient of "a gift" on Mother's Day, I decided to give something meaningful to each of them as well so every year I buy, hand make, write or bake etc... something that let's them know that the reason I celebrate that day is not to receive gifts, favors and or praise...it's to celebrate the gift I 've been given of being their MoM. Even though my sons are all grown up now, I continue to carry on the tradition in hopes that it will remain. Here's this year's gift. It'll accompany a picture/music montage I've created of their lives. Hope you like it. Any comments or constructive criticism are welcome.
The Measure of My Love
How much do I love you ?
I'm afraid, this I can not say..
because my love is so much more,
than mere words ever could convey.
The 3 of you are all at once,
my heart & my treasure.
Your worth far more to me
than Silver or Gold ,
It's impossible for me to measure.
But let me try, without a tear,
to explain just how I feel.
To open up my heart for you,
and show you what is REAL!
You are the words , that shape my voice,
the spirit that's within mine….
You are the will , that shape my choice,
my fortune & my design.
How blessed I am to have you,
at the very core of me….
So wise and good, you always know
just exactly what I can be.
And so I have come , to be someone
of whom you and I can be proud of….
For this , precious sons, I owe all to you,
my GRATITUDE, my LIFE…
AND my LOVE!
A Mother's Day Smile
