Crabby Old Woman
What are you thinking when you're looking at me.
A crabby old woman uncertain of habit with faraway eyes.
I'll tell who I am as I lay here so still. I'm a small child of ten with a father and mother, brothers and sisters who love one another.
A young girl of sixteen with wings on her feet, dreaming that soon now a lover she'll meet.
A bride soon at twenty my heart gives a leap. Remembering the vows that I promised to keep.
At twenty-five now I have young of my own. Who need me to guide and secure a happy home.
A woman of thirty my young now grown fast. Bound to each other with ties that should last.
At forty my young ones have grown and are gone.
At fifty once more babies play around my knee. Again I know children my loves ones and me.
Dark days are upon me I look at the future. I shudder and dread for my young are still rearing young of their own and I think of the years and the love that life know.
I'm now an old woman and nature is cruel. Tis just to make old age look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles grace and vigor depart.
There is now a stone where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass a young girl still dwells and now and again my battered heart swells. I remember the joys I remember the pain and I'm loving and living life over again.
I think of the years and too few gone too fast and accept the stark fast that nothing can last.
SO OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE OPEN AND SEE NOT A CRABBY OLD WOMAN LOOK CLOSER
SEE ME!

A mother is special.
She's as soft and graceful as a butterfly,
yet as strong and courageous
as a grizzly bear.
Her heart is large enough to hold
everyone's pain and joy.
Her hands are always gentle and soothing.
Her arms are always warm and tender.
She works hard to make a
home feel like home,
and she strives to make life pleasant
and comfortable for those she loves.
She never fails to go that extra mile to
make the holidays happy and memorable.
Her job is the most difficult and
demanding ever known to any human being,
yet she's fully dedicated to the task.
She's always there for her family,
guiding them and keeping them safe from harm.
She owns a magical way to raise
spirits and make everything feel better.
And her sympathy, unselfishness
and forgiveness are unending.
All that anyone is or could ever hope to be
can be attributed to a mother.
She instills the teachings
that will last a lifetime.
She sows the seeds of virtue and morality,
and in the process, she opens up love
and vast horizons.
She's always watching and hoping that
her children's goals will have meaning.
She always listens and tries to understand
even when it's difficult to do so.
She's a true friend in every sense of the word.
She's noble and sublime,
and holds all the beauty of a golden day,
yet even during the storms,
she always shines bright like an evening star.
Her name should be honored well,
for she's the closest thing to God on earth.
