She knows my special dish And my favorite toy.  She teaches me the things That I should do each day, To read God's Holy Word, To obey and always pray. She has a gentle voice And a tender touch. When I am really hurt She helps the pain so much. You know, of course, this poem Must be about my mother-- For could these lines so kind Be spoken of another?  -- David A. Olds ------------- "When you have a Mother" When you have a mother Who cares so much for you That anything you want Becomes her desires When you have a mother Who is so understanding that No matter what is bothering you She can make you smile When you have a mother Who is so strong that No matter what obstacles she faces She is always confident in front of you When you have a mother Who actively pursues her goals in life But includes you in all her goals You are very lucky indeed Having a mother like this Makes it easy to grow up Into a loving, strong adult Thank you and God blesses you for Being this kind Of wonderful Mother -- Author-Unknown ---------------- -- Proverbs 23:22 "Listen to you father; without him you would not exit.
