M is for a MOTHER who kept me safe and sound-
A Mother Who was always around.
O is for the OPPORTUNITIES given-
When I couldn't survive on my own.
Having you near me, I knew in my heart-
That I was always home.
T is for the TIMES I almost didn't make it through-
But I did, thanks to you.
H is for your gentle HANDS in melting away my sorrows-
And instilling hope in all my tomorrows.
E is for EVERY sweetness you gave me- year after year-
And the kisses you gave me- as you wiped my tears.
R is for the ROSE you've been from the start-
in the garden grove of my heart.
- Savanah Hindi
To My Mother
Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me,
And filled my heart of hearts, where death installed you,
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.
My mother- my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are the mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
But that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul that its soul-life.
- Poem by Edgar Allan Poe
Mother
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
- Poem by Howard Johnson
A mother is not a person to
lean on but a person to make
leaning unnecessary.
