I think this year for Mother’s day I am going to try something a bit different. I have been thinking about this for several weeks and decided that, well maybe just maybe I could wing it this way and hope that you will forgive me if I do not meet the standards set aside for such things….
M is for the mud flaps that you gave me for my pick up truck
O is for the oil I put on my hair
T is for… T-Bird
H is for Harley
E is for eggs
R is for redneck ….
Wait a minute that’s a song and well not really anything complimentary to mothers every where so I guess I have to try this again.
Mothers
For mothers of sons and daughters
For mothers of mothers
For mothers of children yet unborn
For mothers of adults with there own
Those that we are born to
Those that we cling to
Those that we turn to
Those that we run to
For our up bringing we owe them
For our bumps and bruises they kissed away
For our ups and downs that they were there for
For our lives as they watched over us
Giving to us our morals
Giving to us the ideas
Giving to us our attitudes
Giving to us the love
To mothers that have taken us in
To mothers that are mothers no matter who you are
To mothers that to us are not of our blood
To mothers that to us are only of law
Through out our lives they will remind us
Through out our lives they will answer
Through out our lives they are there
Through out our lives they are always there
Into their lives we have come
Into their lives we will grow
Into their lives we will be
Into their lives until they are gone
In our lives they will always be
In our lives they will poke their nose
In our lives they will always be
In our lives they will control
To mothers of sons and daughters
Those that we are born to
For our upbringing we owe them
Giving to us our morals
To mothers who have taken us in
Through out our lives they will remind us
Into their lives we have come
In our lives they will always be
From your sons and daughters that live and breath
From your sons and daughters that have gone before you
From your sons and daughters that you have yet to meet
From your sons and daughters that love you the most
So to you my friends and family sons and daughters of mothers everywhere I give to you this attempt… take it, leave it, love it, hate it, but always keep in mind that if it wasn’t for our mothers there would be no us. So offer up a toast to the old gal and remember one thing, she may say that she brought us into the world and that she can take you out, she can’t really. Well at least mine can’t, not at this distance anyway. And guys don’t forget the mothers of your sons and daughters!!!
