Happy Mother's Day- inspirational

I had to share this with all of you... My partner at work shared this beautiful poem with me. She lost both of her parents about 4 years ago and someone very special gave this to her. Enjoy it, weather your a mom yourself or a son or daughter to a FABULOUS mom out there. I hope you like it as much as I did. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

MOM- Because of you

Because 0f you I believe in myself
Long before I was a success, my mother made
me feel like I could be one.

Because of you I feel safe
She made me a security blanket
when I was born. That faded
green blanket lasted just as long
enough for me to realize that the
security part came from her

Because of you I feel Inspired
When she though I wasn't looking,
I saw her hang up my first painting
On the refrigerator and I wanted
to paint another one

Because of you I see what really counts
A mother's heart is a child's schoolroom

Because of you,
I feel boundless

What did I learn at
my mother's knee?
these four words:
She believed in me

Because of you the world is full of wonders
I doesn't matter how old
I get, whenever I see anything
new or splendid, I want to call
"Mom, come and look"

Because of you I still believe in miracles
It was easy to confuse my
mother with my guardian angel

Because of you I've always had a safe harbor
When things got tough
I could always run to her
Years later, I still can

Because of you I understand a labor of love
No one knows of the work it
takes to keep a home together,
Nobody knows of the steps it takes. Nobody knows but mother

Because of you, I find beauty in everything
Mom would say, "See if you notice the rose in the vase instead
of the dust on the table."

Because of you I dream bigger
"Be everything you can be,"
she would say, be anything but mediocre."

Because of you
I know there's always a way
Whenever we were down to
nothing, she found a way to
make something out of nothing

Because of you I have memories
to last a lifetime
Of all the gifts she gave us
The greatest of these were the memories

Because of you I am me
Mom, you have been my light
my friend, my teacher-then and now-
and more than that, my inspiration



HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!
