Motherhood
The dearest gifts that heaven holds,
The very finest, too,
Were made into one pattern
That was perfect,sweet, and true;
The Angels smiled, well-pleased, and said
"Compared to all the others,
This pattern is so wonderful
Let's use it just for Mothers!"
And through the years, a Mother
Has been all that's sweet and good
For there's one bit of God and love,
In all true Motherhood.

Jacob had this poem for me in a little red trinket box with his picture in it. It was so cute! He had kept this and hid it the whole week! Allison "surprised"me with a mock aquarium that she made at preschool...and Ervin got me a wireless mouse for my laptop...
My mom is away in the Philippines at this time, but I am thinking of her....
Happy Mother's Day everyone!
