The very best Mother's Day gift is the perfect sentiment, perfectly expressed. The perfect Mother's Day message is one you took the time to find.
When I don my apron
my thoughts return to home
days of stirring cookie dough
and whisking eggs to foam.
The bosom where I laid my head
the lap where I, secure,
perceived a world benign and sweet
a haven, safe and sure.
Your faith in me, my anchor;
your hopes for me, my wings,
dear Mom, I thank you for all these
most precious of all things.
How fondly I remember
all the family dinners where
worldly bruises, worldly knocks,
were dissipated there
a place and time where nourishment
extended to the soul
where the feeding of the body
was a secondary goal.

Mom you taught me
lots of useful
things along the way
thinking straight,
and laughing hard
and knowing what to say
a listening ear,
a feeling heart
the grace to love and pray.
