A THANK YOU NOTE TO MOMMA...

Dearest Momma, it's Mother's Day and as I reflect on you, this is what I need to say:

Thank you for always being a lady with a heart of gold. You were my treasure whom I love beyond measure.

I want to say thank you, for all the times I was in need, and you never failed to take heed. I want to thank you for teaching me right from wrong and yes, how a woman can be gentle, yet strong!

I want to thank you for teaching me that by giving, I'd truly receive; for teaching me to be honest, truthful, to share and be kind.

I want to thank you for teaching me the Golden Rule, to treat others as I wished to be. You always said, that how I treated others would come back to me.

You led by example and not just by talk, in your daily living You truly lived what you taught. You are my Momma and you are the best, and I rejoice in my very soul for knowing, how truly I am blessed!

So on this Mother's Day I honor you with a grateful heart for there is no card or gift to bring you this day; For heaven's gate is much too far away!
