My Mom


by


h. lena jones


 


 


Mom has been my role model for years


What an amazing role model too


Although she had seven to mind


She always found time for everything


Mom was a hairdresser for combing out knots


An interior decorator for fixing the house


A nurse for patching scraped knees


A doctor to administer medicines and enemas


She was a teacher and a playmate, too


A lawyer when toys needed sorting


An Electrician when the iron wouldn’t work


A seamstress when we needed clothing


A dentist when a shaky baby tooth needed extracting


Chief cook and head waitress as well


A pianist at home and at church


She is dead clever at decorating wedding cakes


At Christmas time she was Dad’s helper


When painting the house


But the title I like best of all is


Mom, my Mom!


Now 83, she’s slowed down a bit


Her new titles are chief gardener


And care-giver for Dad


Plus Granny and Great Grandma to many!


Thank you, Mom


For being my Mom


Lots of love to you from me


God Bless!


Thank you, Heavenly Father


For giving me to Mom!

Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of this woman that has formed the leadings of strong faith and ministry of our beloved Sister In Christ Jesus.... Lena this is so beautiful, warm a mother wears many helps of ministry to perform her job. One of the hardest jobs for any person in this world is that of a Mother she holds so many positions in management within her family and home... Under paid are mothers....

I read a poem once where in Heaven the angels were creating the attributes of the persons to be sent to earth :) some what a story. But when they came to one of them asking this creation is very odd Lord it has a wetness dripping down its cheeck broken so we will remove God said no not a reject creature this one is most like me unconditional in service, love the tear of wetness is why I call this one MOTHER>>>>>>>>>You were blessed with a special mother.

God Bless you SISTER,
LOL

Oh how beautiful this is and such a beautiful tribute to your mom who reminds me of my mom. You have written straight from the heart and soul my friend, love and admiration can be felt within the lines of your poem. Penned straight from the heart, I know exactly how you feel, my mom was all of those things and has now slowed down a bit as well. She was and is my best friend in life, and I too thank God daily for her! Wonderful write...anxious to read more.
Blessings,

Oh, I just want to give both of you a big hug. My Mother was all of this to me. She would sorely be missed if I din't know she is still about me. Beautiful, beautiful sentiments, Lena! And what a great Teacher, she, might I add...

Now there's a fine tribute to the person whom God chose to take care of you. It is good to see that you appreciate her. You may know that in modern times the in thing is not to show much respect, but I prefer the old values. Give her my regards. Victor

Wonderful write. Your Mom must be proud. Sometimes it is Mom who works taking little credit but giving more than anyone else to her children.
God Bless,

This beautiful poem is from the heart and soul, Lena, and a lovely tribute to your mom. It's so true, mom's wear so many, many hats. I know mine did, too, and each of them worn proudly without complaint and with so much love. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Love,
