Thoughts for Mother's Day

I wrote this for Mother's Day last year. I wouldn't drive across town to buy a card so I wrote my own. I knew Mom would cherish words from my heart more than any store bought card anyway. Enjoy!

Thoughts for Mother’s Day

By: Daniel J. Delph

 

I remember hearing of you

Singing a joyful noise

Celebrating my debut

Expressing your heartfelt joys

Of motherly love so true

 

You always made the time

To hear my hopes and dreams

To comfort any fears of mine

No matter how I hurt it seems

You made it turn out fine

 

We didn’t have an easy road

Few of us ever do

Your support lightened my load

And carried me on through

For I reaped what you sowed

 

I doubt I expressed appreciation

As much as I should have

For all the hard work you put in

Your dedication is steadfast

And I say “Thank You” again

 

Throughout all of God’s tests

Your unwavering faith has remained

And with God’s grace you are blessed

Your devotion has never waned

For Mother’s Day I say you’re the best  

Author's Note

My goal was just write from the heart and not have to drive across town when I needed sleep. I figured Hallmark doesn't usually have all that long a message and Mom would appreciate my words more than any card so it worked out nicely. I hope you enjoy it as much as Mom did last year.
