Giving and forgiving they go on day to dayOffering advice whether you want it or not
Every day they sacrifice themselves
For love is there driving thought they think not of
themselves
Yet of their children they do and give all
The children not uncaring yet unobservant
For as children often think, that is what mothers are
suppose to do
Although there are no rules Mothers Give and Forgive the
lack of Gratitude
If they are remembered or given thanks for their service
always they remark that this was nothing and go on in
silent service
In all my life I have met no Woman or Man like her
Mother always gives and asks for nothing in return
The wonder and intelligence of her grows each day
For the many years of neglect and lost youth I am
eternally grateful
For without her in My life the world would be
overwhelming
If home is where the heart is my heart will always lie
with you
Mom for all the times I neglected to say thanks
And all the times you retrieved me from harms way
Let no one tell you that you were wrong or could have
done better
Let no one tell you that someone else could raised me to
be who I am
And there is no one else I would rather be than me
Without you I could not be who I am
For this and all I cannot remember
My love and my heart will always be with you
Your Loving Son Tommy
