My Mother
She was my rock through a troubled childhood.
She was patient through the difficult teenage years.
She supported my decisions, when many didn’t.
She read to me as a child,
Encouraged me to read,
And spared no expense for a library membership (or four)!
She pushed me further than I would’ve like to go.
She urged me to excel,
And was so proud of me when I did.
But the best thing she’s ever done for me…
She prayed.
She prays for me, my husband and my boys now,
And I know I can count on that, as long as she is able.
Thank you Mummy, for all you’ve been to me.
Friends, won’t you chime in too? Share with us, what your mama did…
