Filled with Grace


Some have hearts filled with grace and gentleness
they are few and extraordinary
Someone to count on, someone to call
Someone who listens ... and is there when you fall
She cheers in a crowd of one
She sees the good in everything I do

Inheriting just a few of her traits can smooth my rough edges
By her example alone, the world makes sense

Within moments of my entrance into this world she held me
let me know I was wanted, protected me all along
I will never grow too old to say, "I love you Mom"

Having a wonderful mom is indeed wonderful. I'm glad you had one of those kinds of moms. I did too.

Have a terrific day Speedy. Big hug. :)
