Month: May 2018

Memorial Day is the day we honor our fallen soldiers
Many families spend this day crying on friends shoulders
Grieving for the ones who have died while serving our great country
So that we could be the home of the brave and the land of the free
Remembering the ultimate sacrifice of our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers.
The ones who took that vow to protect and serve
Who laid their lives on the line for that which we don’t deserve
The ones who left their families to go to a foreign land
Why they died we may never understand
But we take this day to show our respect and honor
We fly that beautiful flag of red, white and blue
That stands for freedom for me and you
Words can’t express how thankful we are
Our heartfelt compassion to all the families with a gold star
Our hearts overflow with gratitude and pride
We can’t contain or even try to hide
The tears of so many mixed emotions
As they sing God Bless America, my home sweet home
And place that wreath on that cold hard stone.

I am thankful for you as my Mama,
Even though we have been thru so much drama.

You took care of me as a child,
Even when things were so wild.

Through my eyes as little girl,
You were my whole world.

As a child I thought you were it,
And as a teenager I thought you were, full of it.

Always beautiful and strong,
Even when things would go wrong.

The things you have had to endure,
Would break many, I am sure.

You told us about the Lord,
And encouraged us to follow after him.

You have handled your life with grace,
And always with a smile on your face.

Your life has been a wild ride,
But you have always shown your pride.

You show courage and strength,
Even when your heart aches.

I love you with all of my heart and soul,
I am thankful that I get to travel life’s road,
With such a special lady by my side.

You have been a best friend to me,
And I am praying for many more years to see,
Just what you mean to me.

Chaos and strife
Fill her life
She never sits down
To see the beauty around
She is in constant turmoil
Never a day without pain
She chooses not to see
What she would be
Without so much negativity
A path of destruction
Left behind
All because
She is blind
Does not see the err of her ways
Spending nights and many days
Spreading destruction
To so many
When her love could be so plenty
A heart of gold
Waxed stone cold
A face grown old
A life turned cold
Searching for love
That was never enough
Filled with righteous anger
And spreading the danger
Praying in the night
For people to get right
Staring in the mirror
But never will see
The amazing life
That could be
The flaws inside
She tries to hide
While tearing down the ones
By her side
So many years wasted with tears
And full of fears
Spending so much time
Pointing out your flaws and sin
Never realizing the problem was
The women within

 

 

On this Mother’s Day
I just want to say
How I love you so
Even though it don’t always show
I appreciate you for who you are
You are important to me
And our entire family
We tend to hold our feelings inside
And sometimes they just hide
We don’t talk as much as we should
Or even as much as we could
Our relationship is not all that traditional
But that doesn’t make it any less official
We aren’t all up in each other’s drama
But I am really thankful that you are my Mama

 

Happy Mother’s Day to you
Hope your day is bright and skies are blue
Hope you have a day full of fun
Relaxing and basking in the sun
I am thankful for all you have done
While raising me your favorite one.
I hope your life will be blessed
And you will allow God to relieve your stress
I pray for his blessings upon your life
And to surround you and protect you every night
I am praying for him to invade your space
From the front to the back of every place
And pour out his spirit on you like never before
And bless your life from his heavenly store.

 

A mother’s love more precious than gold
Even when your children grow old
Giving up a piece of your heart
Helping them to make their start
Always wanting what’s best for them
Helping to steer their life toward him
Praying for them day and night
Wanting for them to get it right
Wanting to protect with all her might
Fighting against evil forces
To help them make better choices
Praying they will always stay
In the will of God every day
A living legacy she hopes they’ll be
And live with him thru eternity
