Sweet Hubby

So On Mother's Day Tommy gave me a poem to read and I thought it was so sweet, but I also thought it was probably just something he found on the internet. Well, today I found out that he made up the whole thing by himself just for me. Wow! I do not deserve him! So, here it is:

Mothers

Children grow up wanting many things -

Little boys want puppies and swords and guns

Knives and ropes and anything fun

The girls love dolls and dresses andd playing house

They like glitter and crafts and lukewarm baths

But at the end of the day, what every child really wants is a mother to say "I love you"

Kinds and presidents and rulers of nations command millions by their very words, yet none is greater than a mother who simply says, "I love you

A mother's gentle kiss is better than any medicine or bandaid in the world

A story told by a mother is greater than all the movies and songs combined

At times her knowledge knows no bounds

Her prayers are so faithful they take a fast train to Heaven

Falling asleep on a thousand blankets cannot compare to falling asleep in mother's arms

She is soft and gentle and full of hope

Only mother has the ability to see her children through the eyes of God himself

She can see their future and she knows what they can become

Only a mother is brave enough to face and army alone for her child, yet meek enough to shed countless tears when her child is pained

A mother's physical, mental and emotional anguish goes largely unnoticed by the passing crowd, yet she presses forward, and all this because of her love of a child

No sleep, no money, no recognition, yet her inner beauty shows forth brighter and brigher each day

No single person can have a more profound impact on a child, a family, a community or a nation than a loving and devoted mother.

Thank God for Mothers!
