Sweet Babs =)

I'm at an age now that I truly appreciate my mother and all that she is and has been to us. Sometimes I think about the fact that at my age, she already had 2 kids and was building her life around us. It's hard for me to imagine that. I was never really a momma's girl as a child.. or a daddy's girl. I was so strong willed and had such a mind of my own. Don't get me wrong I was spoiled rotten and totally dependant on her of course, but I wasn't old enough to appreciate what she was to me. I love her dearly and now at 30, I am SUCH a Momma's girl!! I miss her terribly since we moved and she is always in my heart and in my thoughts. LOVE your momma's!! They are so precious and love us in such a perfect way!!

A Mother's Love

This world has jewels, money, land
position, power, and mansions grand
But a mother's love more precious far,
than all these other treasures are.

A mother nurtures, guides, protects
Her teachings each child's life affects,
and when in later years they go,
away from home, and friends they know
Those teachings will provide the stay,
to keep them on the good straight way.

Though some may stray to taste the fruits,
of worldly pleasures -- still the roots
of Mother's teachings, love, and care
will some day draw them back to where,
the Savior's love can them enfold,
and fill them with a spirit bold.

So children, each and every day,
honor your mother in some way --
To show that you appreciate,
she taught you how to love, not hate.
To comfort you, to guide, to lead,
to be there in your time of need.

But best of all, -- to show the way,
that leads to home with God some day.
