Mothers (Poem) 2002

Mothers

To Mom

11–05–2002



Mothers are mothers for more than one reason,

Mothers are mothers for more than one season.


A season of laughter, a lifetime of love.

All our moments together are sent from above. 


Mothers are special and, in our lives, have a place.

We remember their voice and their touch on our face.


Soft and tender and loving and dear,

They speak to us in words that make life so clear.


No matter how wise and old we may get,

They remind us of the child inside that we forget. 


In our hearts they remain forever and always

For they touch our lives in so many ways.


One day a bird in a film said to me, “Stephen,

‘Mother’ is the word for God on the lips and hearts of all children”.
