M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

- Howard Johnson

Best Gift a Grandmother Can Give to a New Mom

As mother's day approaches and my daughter begins talking about getting pregnant in about a year, I find myself looking forward to becoming a Grandmother.  After pushing the idea out of my head that being a Grandmother equates to being old, I started thinking about what gift I would most like to give to a new Grandbaby.  I thought that the greatest gift that I can give to my Grandbaby and my Daughter is the gift of time together.  Doing the grocery shopping, the cooking, the laundry and the cleaning may just be the greatest gift a New Grandmother can give.  The baby is bound to out grow any clothes, or toys that they receive but they will never out grow the bond that they build with their mother during this time.

Only One Mother
Author: George Cooper

Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather,
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the world wide over.
