Mother's Day Blessing and Prayer
By: Susan Kramer

"Blessed be all mothers
Who have come into our lives
Whose kindness, care and loving
Remain with us to guide.

Blessed be all mothers
Who have come into our lives
Blessed be, Blessed be,
Blessed be!

Your inspiration in us
Made us strive in every way
Especially to remember
Helping others makes our day.

Blessed be all mothers
Who have come into our lives
Blessed be, Blessed be,
Blessed be!

Mothers, this little tribute
Flows directly from my heart
You are so loved and cherished
Invaluable, one and all, you are.

Blessed be all mothers
Who have come into our lives
Blessed be, Blessed be,
Blessed be!"

[CynanMachae]

Can anyone throw in a conrtibution?


I HAD A MOTHER who read to me
Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea,
Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth,
"Blackbirds" stowed in the hold beneath

I had a Mother who read me lays
Of ancient and gallant and golden days;
Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,
Which every boy has a right to know.

I had a Mother who read me tales
Of Celert the hound of the hills of Wales,
True to his trust till his tragic death,
Faithfulness blent with his final breath.

I had a Mother who read me the things
That wholesome life to the boy heart brings-
Stories that stir with an upward touch,
Oh, that each mother of boys were such.

You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be --
I had a Mother who read to me.
