She planted all the good things That gave my life its start. She turned me to the sunshine And encouraged me to dream. Fostering and nurturing The seeds of self-esteem. And when the winds and rain came, She protected me enough. But not too much because she knew I’d need to stand up strong and tough. Her constant good example Always taught me right from wrong.

Happy Mother’s Day! —Unknown Happy Mother’s Day Mom! Sorry you didn’t give birth to a poet who could rhyme! —Unknown Occasionally I feel embarrassed and want you disappeared. Sometimes you annoy me and I yell and shout, And every now and then you make me pout. Often I say things to you which I don’t mean, And I might even act like a crazy drama queen. But no matter what happens or how I may act, My love and appreciation for you is an eternal fact! —Unknown My weaknesses and follies, I know you’ve seen me poop my pants and cut the heads off dollies. You know all my most embarrassing moments, You know that I’m a nut, So what can I do to repay your love… …and make sure you keep your mouth shut!? —Holly Giffers —Abraham Lincoln —Robert Browning —Unknown —Unknown Of course they are artifacts. Even if my sister and I should wear some, or if we give others away, they will always be your clothes without you, as we will always be your daughters without you. —Judith Kroll Since I last listened your lullaby song: Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem Womanhood’s years have been only a dream. Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace, With your light lashes just sweeping my face, Never hereafter to wake or to weep; Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep! —Elizabeth Akers Allen
