The Magic of a Mother's Touch

• There's magic in a Mother's touch,
• and sunshine in her smile.
• There's love in everything she does
• to make our lives worthwhile.
• We can find both hope and courage
• Just by looking in her eyes.
• Her laughter is a source of joy,
• her works are warm and wise.
• There is a kindness and compassion
• to be found in her embrace,
• and we see the light of heaven
• shining from a Mother's face.

A Mother's Love

• A Mother's love is something
• that no on can explain,
• It is made of deep devotion
• and of sacrifice and pain,
• It is endless and unselfish
• and enduring come what may
• For nothing can destroy it
• or take that love away . . .
• It is patient and forgiving
• when all others are forsaking,
• And it never fails or falters
• even though the heart is breaking . . .
• It believes beyond believing
• when the world around condemns,
• And it glows with all the beauty
• of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
• It is far beyond defining,
• it defies all explanation,
• And it still remains a secret
• like the mysteries of creation . . .
• A many splendoured miracle
• man cannot understand
• And another wondrous evidence
• of God's tender guiding hand.
• Helen Steiner Rice

An Irish Funeral Prayer

• You can only have one mother
• Patient kind and true;
• No other friend in all the world,
• Will be the same to you.
• When other friends forsake you,
• To mother you will return,
• For all her loving kindness,
• She asks nothing in return.
• As we look upon her picture,
• Sweet memories we recall,
• Of a face so full of sunshine,
• And a smile for one and all.
• Sweet Jesus, take this message,
• To our dear mother up above;
• Tell her how we miss her,
• And give her all our love.

Untitled

• In memory of my mother
• You were a precious gift from God above,
• so much beauty, grace and love.
• You touched our hearts in so many ways,
• your smile so bright even on the bad days.
• You heard God's whisper calling you home,
• you didn't want to go and leave us alone.
• You loved us so much, you held on tight,
• till all the stregnth was gone and you could no longer fight.
• He had called your name twice before,
• you knew you couldn't make him wait anymore.
• So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away,
• knowing that with our love we will be together again some day.
• Mary Estelle

Untitled

• For all the times you gently picked me up,
• When I fell down,
• For all the times you tied my shoes
• And tucked me into bed,
• Or needed something
• But put me first instead.
• For everything we shared,
• The dreams, the laughter,
• And the tears,
• I love you with a Special Love
• That deepens every year.
• Thank You Mom

Untitled

• Your smiles can brighten any moment,
• Your hugs put joy in all my days,
• Your love will stay with me forever
• And touch my life in precious ways...
• The values you've taught,
• the care you've given,
• and the wonderful love you've shown,
• have enriched my life
• in more ways than I can count.

To Grandmother With Love

• I had an angel here beside me, Sent to Earth to help and guide me, An angel always there
• for me Sent to love and care for me.
• She did the things that angels should: She taught me what was bad and good, She gave
• me hope when no one cared, She held my hand when I was scared, She cheered me up
• when I was down (She could make a smile from a frown), She doctored me when I was
• sick, And many another angel trick.
• Today my angel earned her wings, Her halo, harp and other things. But today I'm lost and
• all alone For today God
