HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she wore. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well; She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep; the colors of a rainbow; she is Christmas morning.
Blessed is the Mother who lets the Lord be her guiding hand, whose faith brings her family courage, whose wisdom comes from God, and whose children stand and honor her.
