I am because YOU ARE. So much of me is made of what I learned from you. It doesn't matter how far I go in life, I will always be your Little Girl and you will always be my Loving Mother. Thank your for the sacrifces you made everyday. You have blessed me with your sellfess love. I will always remember and treasure the love you have showered me within my life. All the more reason to thank God for what he has given me. Thank you for being YOU! I miss and love you!
The hand that rocks the cradle also makes the house a home. It is the prayers of the mother that keeps the family strong. Mother rises early in the morning and bathes her day in prayer. She talks to God about her family and places them in His care. When challenges come our way and when trials block our view, Mother kneels down beside her bed and prays the family through. Mother is God's special creation. She is a light shining in the dark, illuminating the path for her family and pointing them toward God.
Hands that rock the cradle from the moment of my birth The tender touch remembered by those still here on earth Soft as silk those hands, they taught me how to pray Vanishing childhood fears they soothed each one away When I grew much older and troubles came my way Those hands carressing my did more than words could say Mother's hands were gentle They're missed so much I'll give the world to feel once more their warm and tender touch
If Roses grow in heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for me Place them in my Mother's arms and tell them they're from me Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, But there's an ache within my heart that will never go away
