Best friends forever mom and me
picking flowers and climbing trees.
a shoulder to cry on secrets to share
Warm hearts and hands that really care.
My Mother, my friend so dear
throughout my life you're always near.
A tender smile to guide my way
You're the sunshine to light my day.
Hundred of dewdrops to greet the dawn Hundred of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies in the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
Being a full time mother is one of the highest salaries jobs…….since the payment is pure love.
All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my mother.
Mother of mine, you gave to me All of my life to do as I please
I owe everything I have to you
Mother, sweet mother of mine.
Mother of mine, when I was young
You showed me the way things had to be done
Without your love where would I be?
Mother, sweet mother of mine.
Mother you gave me happiness
Much more than words can say
I’ll pray to the Lord that He be with you
Every night and every day.
Mother of mine, now I’m grown
And I can walk straight, all on my own
I’ll lie to give you what you gave to me
Mother, sweet mother of mine.
The sweetest sounds to mortals given Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven.
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother never. A mother is absolutely something absolutely new.
Woman in the home has not yet lost her dignity, in spite of Mother’s Day, with its offensive implication that our love needs an annual nudging, like our enthusiasm for the battle of Bunker.
Women’s Liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s the men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children. And no one’s likely to do anything about that.
When you are a mother, you are never really alone in \your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are certain that they are their own.
Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.
God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.
