My friend Rachel sent me this and I thought, I can't say it any better, so I
am posting this poem written by Barbara Cage. I wish all of you Mothers out
the there a Happy Mother's Day. It is the single greatest thing we can
do....to raise children to be happy and want to make our world a better
place. I want to tell my Mommy that I love her and thank her for giving me
the unconditional love and complete support in order to turn out what is
Michele Colleen Gray Rundgren. Thank you Mom. I am happy, confident, just
restless enough to strive towards my goals, and more than anything, I know I
am a good Mother, because I had you as my example. I love you SOOOO much!!
BEING YOUR MOTHER
A Poem by Barbara Cage
Being Your Mother means I have had the opportunity
to experience loving someone more than I love myself.
I have learned what it's like to experience joy and pain
through someone else's life.
It has brought Me pride and joy;
your accomplishments touch me and thrill me
like no one elses can.
It has brought me a few tears and heartaches at times,
but it has taught Me hope and patience.
It has shown Me the depth,strength, and power of Love.
Being Your mother hasn't always been easy, and I'm sure I've said or done
things
that have hurt or confused you.
But no one has ever made me as satisfied as You do
just by being happy .
No one has made me as proud as you do just by living up
to your responsibilities.
No one's smile has ever warmed My heart like yours does;
no one's laughter fills my heart with delight
as quickly as Yours can.
No one's hugs feel as sweet ,
and no one's dreams mean as much to me
as yours do.
No other memories of bad times have miraculously
turned into important lessons or humorous stories;
the good times have become precious treasures
to relive again and again.
You are part of Me, and no matter what happened in the past
or what the future holds,
you are someone I will always accept, forgive, appreciate , adore,
and love unconditionally.
Being your Mother means I have been given
one of life's greatest gifts:
YOU !
