Well I hope you all had great Mother's Day ...I know I did ....

I Said A Mother's Prayer For You

I said a Mother's Day prayer for you

to thank the Lord above

for blessing me with a lifetime

of your tenderhearted love.

I thanked God for the caring

you've shown me through the years,

for the closeness we've enjoyed

in time of laughter and of tears.

And so, I thank you from the heart

for all you've done for me

and I bless the Lord for giving me

the best mother there could be!

____________

Mother If I could give you diamonds

for each tear you cried for me.

if I could five you sapphires

for each truth you've helped me see.

If I could give you rubies

for the heartache that you've known

If I could give you pearls

for the wisdom that you've shown.

Then you'll have a treasure,

mother,that would mount up to the skies

That would almost match

the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.

But I have no pearls, no diamonds,

As I'm sure you're well aware

So I'll give you gifts more precious

My heart, love and care.

_____________________

And Grandma's too...

While we honor all our mothers

with words of love and praise.

While we tell about their goodness

and their kind and loving ways.

We should also think of Grandma,

she's a mother too, you see....

For she mothered my dear mother

as my mother mothers me.
