Mother's Day

My Mom lives on a ship. You read that correctly. She floats on the high seas for 6-9 months out of every year. So on this particular Mother's Day, I wanted her to know I was thinking of her. So here's to you Mom, youre missed each and every day, especially this one.

I just wanted to let you know
You mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours

Would give so unselfishly

The many things youve done

All the times that you were there

Help me know deep inside

How much you really care

Even though I might not say

I appreciate all you do

Richly blessed is how I feel
Having a Mother just like you

A- able

L- loving
I- intelligent
S- strong

O- optimistic

N- natural

K- kind

N- nurturing

I- intuitive

K- Knowledgeable

E- energetic

R- reflective

I wanted to also give a special mention to Derek's Mother, Janet Bohls, who so often acts as a mother to me as well. I truly feel blessed to have such a special lady looking out for me as much as she does.

Even though youre not my mom

I know that you'll be there

With the little things you do

you let me know you care

Youre always there to help

whatever the need may be

Youve given of yourself

and so unselfishly

Im drawn to you more every day

For the kindness you have shown

I just want to thank you

and let you know I care

A second mom as great as you

is something very rare.
