Happy Mother's Day to all of the Wonderful, Deserving, Hard Working Mommies out there!!

What is a Mother?

A Mother is not just the word
that is given a woman who
gives birth to a child.

Through love and caring
she earns the title of Mother
or Ma...or Mom

She is a woman who can be stern
without intimidation;
without harming the child's soul.

She is a woman who forms a child's mind
as well as it's body...
with loving care.

She is a woman who keeps promises,
whether for rewards or discipline
to teach responsibility to her child.

She is a builder of character
by doing, not just saying,
what is wholesome for her child.

She is a woman who tenderly heals
the scrapes and cuts, as well as
disappointments of her child.

She is a woman who takes pride
in all the smallest of progress
and events in her child's life.

She is a former
a builder
a healer
a teacher
She is a Mother,
often while having a career.

Anybody can be a mom
but it takes a real woman to be a mother

She was there at the beginning
When the world was new to you -
She was there to turn to happy times
Those when, you were hurt or blue.

She was there to listen to your thoughts
And when you asked, to give advice -
She was there to tell you, "Those don't match!"
Or, "Hon, you sure look nice."

She was there with you at nighttime
To help you say your prayers _
She was there to tell you, "It's alright."
When you had a dream that scares.

She was there at morning time
To get you up and out of bed -
She was there when you didn't feel good (or did)
To say, "You'd best stay home, instead."

She was there when you were hungry
And when you had those dirty clothes -
She was there when you needed her
(How she knew? Only heaven knows.)

She was there at the beginning
And she'll be there your whole life through -
She'll be there in your mind and heart
Just like a mother is supposed to do.

When I was working out at the gym the other day, Taylor Swift's new video "The Best Day" came on and it is so fitting for Mother's Day! It is a great video! She has a wonderful relationship with her mom...one of which I intend to have with my babies now and forever! :)
