A mother's love
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11
by Karin L. Nauber

 

There is something to be said about a motherís love. There is also something to be said about mothers in general. Mothers protect their babies. They feed their babies, they care for them, cry for them, share moments of joy with them and moments of heartache. A mother goes above and beyond the call of duty. Giving birth is a special miracle reserved for motherís alone. 
So whether you are a human mom or a bovine mom, ìHappy Motherís Dayî to some of the most special creatures on the planet.

The following is from an e-mail I received.


 
The one flaw in a woman
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
But they hold happiness,
Love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
And laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They donít take ënoí for an answer
When they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
And cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
A birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member, 
Yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
Can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
Theyíll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
To show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
However, if there is one tiny flaw in women,
It is that they forget their worth.
Let your mom know how special she is this coming Motherís Day!
