   Mother’s Day Poem:

   Mother’s Day, Mother’s Day
   A time to laugh, a time to say,
   “Thank you, Mom, for all you do,
   For hugs, and love, and seeing me through.”

   You held my hand, you dried my tears,
   You gave me courage through the years.
   Your kindness, strength, and gentle touch—
   Mom, you’ve always meant so much.

   So here’s a hug, a kiss, a cheer,
   To show you love that’s always near.
   Happy Mother’s Day to you—
   My heart is full because of you.
