Lacking Nothing in a Mom - Newsletters - http://maxpages.com/ljwbthisweek/Lacking_Nothing_in_a

Formed in the safety of the womb, first you in your mother,
in your womb my brothers, and me, then came the others.
you selflessly nourished and cared for us all,
gave a lifetime of days and nights, at our every call.

At times it must have been so hard, as you bore all our pain,
While we slept you prayed, did your work as we played,
never heard you complain.

You were there when I awoke, and chased off scary dreams,
heard all of my troubles,
counseled me through so many failed teenage schemes.

And as I became a man, you watched, proud as could be,
pleading with god’s plan, you found a way, trusting Him,
and set me free.

Mom, in my absence, throughout the years,
I’ve tried to share every joy, and also the tears,
Tried often in despair, finding ways to let you know,
thankful for that which mom and this son share,
all the ways you’ve loved me so.

In my life I’ve noticed so many moms,
I’ve watched my friends as they are with theirs,
there is nothing except your presence that I’ve envied,
nothing I’ve wanted, none other I’ve ever known,
none who quite compares.

The love you have given, greatest of life’s care,
through you I have always had.
Your tears and mine, through my absence I know,
has oft broken your heart, made you so very sad,

But my sweet mother, I want you to know

That from the time I was a child,
as I have grown through the years,
Having felt your heart so passionately driven,
There is nothing I could ever have wanted in a mom,
That you haven’t always so freely given.

With the deepest love a heart could ever hold,
you and your life’s example, you have shared with me,
I’ll never forget, it is so deep in my soul,
Always I will strive, for what I’ve caught in you to be.

I am now and forever, your loving son,

Larry
