To Every Mother

Every time a child is born, so is a mother.  

An eternal bond is formed.  

As you grow, your mother is there.  

There to tuck you in, to cheer you up.  

There to teach.  There to send you off and to listen when you call.  

There to encourage you as you explore, create, and dance the night away.  

There to encourage, to build faith.  

There by your side, when others have left you.  

There in good times and hard times.  There in the details of daily life.  

Life doesn't come with a manual, it comes with a Mother.

This Mother's Day thank the women who have loved, mentored, and mothered you.
