If there is one word in the universe capable of softening hearts, it is this: Mommy.

I boldly groaned at Mother onceand frowned to cause her pain.With gentleness she countered me,'I love you just the same.'

Mother’s Day is sacred because life is sacred. We owe that breath of life to our mothers. Their sacrifices allow us this extraordinary experience.

If you hug, if you kiss, if you love,If you sing, if you coo like a dove,If you still hope for things you dream of,Thank your mother, my dear, thank your mother.If you skip, if you hop, if you run,If you glow, if you shine like the sun,If you know healthy ways to have fun,Thank your mother, my dear, thank your mother.If you help, if you serve, if you pray,If you smile, if you live what you say,If you show by example the way,Thank your mother, my dear, thank your mother.

You breathe.You feel.You seeand hearand smelland tasteand thinkand moveand laughand weepand healand danceand singand love.Thank your mother.

What a mother wants is to hold her babies when they’re small and to be held by them once they’ve grown tall. It’s empty arms a mother dreads.

I've yet to find another soul who believes in me with the same fervency as my mother.

MOM—Mistress Of Miracles

Mothers care in volumes of tears and earnestness of prayers and a depth of emotion others cannot fathom.
