The Colors Of Spring

Some people are

delicate and fragile

like a flower

that shares its beauty

with all that are near.

Some people

make the world

a better place

because their heart

is filled with love

appreciation and compassion.

I am blessed to

have a person in my life

that exhibits all these

attributes and so many more

and I call her Mother.

To the woman, my sweet Mother, who sacrificed so much of her life to give me life and taught me an abundance of the lessons of life through her example and constant guidance, I want to say "Happy Mother's Day" and "Thank You".

You are my mother, sister and friend. I can not imagine a day without you in it. Your love has spanned miles and encompassed me in its safety when I was at the depth of sorrow and pain. Your soft voice and kind words of encouragement have given me the confidence I've needed to face reality and all that life has placed before me. We have laughed and we have cried together. We have felt fear together and we have given each other hope. We have taught each other and learned from each other. There are no words written or spoken that could express the depth of my gratitude for having you as my mother and sharing in the experience of this life together.

I love you.
