A Triple Treat of Words

It’s May.  Finally!  April had like 900 days in it, right?  A special day is coming up, ladies!  Mom, mum, mother, mommy, momma, ma, madre…whatever you like to call her…it’s Mother’s Day this Sunday.  Woohoo!

This Mother’s Day might look a little different because of The Rona.  Heck, your mom might even look a little different this Mother’s Day.  Ha ha!  You know, it’s been almost two months without a hair salon, mani-pedi, or shopping.  But!  We love our mommies!  No matter what!

Some moms enjoy flowers, wine, chocolate, jewelry, new clothes, and a nice meal.  Yes, I love all of those things!  However, my love language is certainly words.  My children know that I adore words.  So, this Mother’s Day, I’ve been blessed with three beautiful poems that my kiddos wrote.  I want to share them with you today.  It’s a triple treat for me!

My Son’s Mother’s Day Poem

Her voice is very calm and worry free,

Very collective, just like me.

She can laugh unpredictably, even in a crowd,

When she does laugh; it’s very loud.

Yet, I am still very proud.

She smiles in happy times and tries to in sad,

Which will ease anyone from their worries,

Making them feel glad.

Her smile, shining so bright,

Sometimes, it is my only light.

The hair upon her head is long and brown,

Which will make you do anything but frown.

Her eyes twinkle like stars,

And shine like brand new cars.

She has teeth that are sparkling, shiny, and bright,

Not to mention they are a pearly white.

She’ll embrace you in a hug that’s warm and tight,

That would make anyone love her with all their might.

The jokes she eagerly tells,

Are so funny, never punny; they’ll put you under a spell.

She is gifted with a bounty of knowledge and smarts,

Showing them off, using all her brain parts.

The clothes she wears are unique and bright,

Making her such a beautiful sight,

Once again, making anyone love her with all their might!

My Older Daughter’s Mother’s Day Poem

Mothers truly are,

The best blessing by far.

In everything that they do,

To always help you.

Mothers help you with school,

And every other rule.

That you need to learn,

In order to yearn.

Rules for life when things get sticky,

And also for when we kids get picky.

But moms always know what’s right,

Even when things get tight.

And when life feels kind of rough,

Mothers will only get more tough.

They support us in all that we do,

And for that, we thank you.

Sometimes their love can be hard to hear,

But that’s when you know they’re being dear.

Through the thicks and thins,

Through the losses and wins.

They help you succeed in all that you do,

Just because they truly love you.

Mothers always know what is best,

Even if the answer is as simple as rest.

We love you, Mom, more than it may seem,

You are the sunshine in our beam.

You always know the rights and wrongs,

Your words are like beautiful songs.

Even though we fuss, argue, and fight,

Know that you’ll always be our light.

That shows us the way,

Through everything you say.

Your inspiration is like a shooting star,

Or a lightning bug in a jar.

You’re the one that brightens our day,

Even when things may get in our way.

So open your heart and your ears,

And let’s all give some cheers.

For mothers this year and every day,

May God bless you in a special way!

My Younger Daughter’s Mother’s Day Poem

Thank you for everything you do,

I really appreciate you.

You are the best mom I could ever ask for,

I want nothing more.

I am so grateful for you,

A cow goes moo.

(Sorry, I couldn’t think of anything that rhymes with you)

(I still can’t...so...Moo!)

Anyway, I love you more than you know,

And you always go with the flow.

About what we’re going to do,

Even though you’re sometimes cuckoo!

You make me laugh all day long,

Even when there’s something wrong.

I know I don’t say thank you enough,

And sometimes, on me, you’re a little rough.

But I love you so much,

(That may change if you don’t feed me candy and such!!)

Love, Your favorite child (I am just kidding or…am I?)

Yes, my heart is full indeed.

Whatever your love language is…I hope your children give you a triple treat of it on Mother’s Day!

For all the sweet moms who have died and for all the precious mommas who are sick…I’m praying for you.  For all those beautiful women in our lives who are just like moms to us…I thank God for you!  For mommies everywhere…you’re awesome and you rock!  For our beautiful Mother Mary, I can’t thank you enough for being Jesus’ mom and our mom, too!

I’m heading back to work, Sunshines, so I’ll take a little break from writing again.  However, let’s continue to keep each other in prayer as we navigate this Corona Journey.  Bye for now!
