"I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of 'Mother'"
--Edgar Allen Poe

"I remember my mother's prayers, and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life."

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; 

when adversity takes the place of prosperity; 

when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around    us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." 

                                       --Washington Irving

"God made a wonderful mother,

A mother who never grows old;

He made her smile of the sunshine,

And He moulded her heart of pure gold;

In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,

In her cheeks fair roses you see;

God made a wonderful mother,

And He gave that dear mother to me."

--Pat O'Reilly

"I'll love you forever;
I'll like you for always;
As long as I'm living,
My mommy you'll be."
--Robert Munsch

Dear Mama,

There are no words to express how beautiful you are.  A better mother, I cannot imagine.  Thank you for standing beside me, guiding me through, picking me up, and loving me without fail.  Thank you for always celebrating me, helping when I need you most, and teaching me to handle life's trials and tribulations.

Everything I am is because of you.

I love you,
