Poem for Mother’s Day May 13th, 2012
You Were There…
You were there when we took our first steps,
And went unsteadily across the floor.
You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided,
Until our steps took us out the door…
You worry now “Are they ok?”
Is there more you could have done?
As we walk the paths of our unknown
You wonder “Where have my children gone?”
Where we are is where you have led us,
With your special love you showed us a way,
To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make.
Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day.
And where we go you can be sure,
In spirit you shall never be alone.
For where you are is what matters most to us,
Because to us that will always be home…

Evolution of a Mother ~ By the Third Child
What |
First Child |
Second Child |
Third Child |
| Your Clothes | You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy. | You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible. | Your maternity clothes are your regular clothes. |
| Preparing for Birth | You practice your breathing religiously. | You don’t bother because you remember that last time, breathing didn’t do a thing. | You ask for an epidural in your eighth month. |
| The Layette | You pre-wash newborn’s clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby’s little bureau. | You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains. | Boys can wear pink, can’t they? |
| Worries | At the first sign of distress – a whimper, a frown – you pick up the baby. | You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn. | You teach your three-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing. |
| Pacifier | If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and boil it. | When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby’s bottle. | You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in. |
| Diapering | You change your baby’s diapers every hour, whether they need it or not. | You change their diaper every two to three hours, if needed. | You try to change their diaper before others start to complain about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees. |
| Activities | You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour. | You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics. | You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner. |
| Going Out | The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home five times. | Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached. | You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood. |
| At Home | You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby. | You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child isn’t squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby. | You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children. |
| Swallowing Coins | When first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand x-rays. | When second child swallows a coin, you carefully watch for the coin to pass. | When third child swallows a coin you deduct it from his allowance. |

Real Mothers – Mommy to Mom to Mother
MOTHERS
Real Mothers don’t eat quiche;
They don’t have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn’t come out of carpets.
Real Mothers don’t want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up…
Real Mothers sometimes ask ‘Why me?’
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, ‘Because I love you best.’
Real Mothers know that a child’s growth
Is not measured by height or years or grade…
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother…..
The Images of Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE – My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE – My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE – My Mother doesn’t know everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE – My Mother? She wouldn’t have a clue.
16 YEARS OF AGE – Mother? She’s so five minutes ago.
18 YEARS OF AGE – That old woman? She’s way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE – Well, she might know a little bit about it!
35 YEARS OF AGE – Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE – Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE – Wish I could talk it over with Mom.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
Please send this to 5 Moms today.
If you don’t, nothing bad will happen,
But if you do, something goodwill:
You’ll boost a Mother’s spirits.
