I want to say Thanks for my Mother, <br /> <br />To me she taught how to Love one another; <br /> <br />With only one hand, to do the work she had to do, <br /> <br />But; she worked as if it was more hands than two. <br /> <br /> <br />She took us each Sunday to church and Sunday school, <br /> <br />And really cared to teach us children, the golden Rule; <br /> <br />That we need to Love God, and obey and Trust Him too, <br /> <br />Yes, if only she were here right now, I'd say to her thankyou. <br /> <br /> <br />My Mother taught us girls to learn, how to be truthful, also, <br /> <br />And how to read and also to Pray, and to others love to show; <br /> <br />She also taught us how to cook, to sew and knit as well, <br /> <br />These things is a lot for one hand lady, is what I can tell. <br /> <br /> <br />She was a foster Mother to many a child and baby, it's true, <br /> <br />Some with health problems, and that couldn't say thankyou; <br /> <br />Some had other difficulties, some were very bad as well, <br /> <br />But Mum certainly showed she loved them, oh yes! We could tell. <br /> <br /> <br />So Mum if you could have been here today, and read this now, <br /> <br />It tells you thanks for everything, I love you any how; <br /> <br />Sometimes we were naughty, played up when you were tired too, <br /> <br />So! Mum, I'm sorry for those times, and Mum I say Thankyou.<br /><br />margaret haig<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-want-to-say-thanks-for-my-mother/
