From sweet tiny hands

that touched my face;

to little arms reaching

for mother's warm embrace.

Then fast toddler feet

finding their stance;

learning to twirl in

a little girl dance.

Now a young lass

deciding what to wear;

school days speeding by

good grades were a care.

Teenagers dreams

with friends fast and true;

energy boundless

my beautiful YOU.

All grown up and married

new dreams now abound;

Still loving and lovely,

with wisdom so sound.

A mother yourself

with two boys of your own;

I've watched you grow, dear,

from cradle to grown.

What a wonderful wife

what a mother to dote;

Such pride in my heart

that reaches my throat.

Swallowing tears that God

blessed you this way;

I send wishes you'll have

a glorious Mother's Day!
