Never does a mother forget, that miracle of birth, <br />It stays within her memory, <br />With the last and with her first. <br /> <br />Nine long months of waiting, <br />For that bundle of joy to arrive, <br />Then wondering how to raise it, <br />While setting some of her life aside. <br /> <br />Yet with Gods' grace and wisdom, <br />That was instilled in her from the start, <br />She gives this little blessing of joy, <br />All her loving trust and heart. <br /> <br />Time passes quickly, <br />All childish things let go. <br />To become what you have taught them, <br />And everything you know. <br /> <br />A day to take upon themselves, <br />A spouse to start anew, <br />Starting the process over again, <br />Now the rest my child is up to you!<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-day-to-remember-2/
