This is for all moms everywhere, whether it is Mother's Day where you are today or not. Enjoy your day!

MOTHERS DAY

A Mother loves right from the start.
She holds her baby close to her heart.
The bond that grows will never falter.
Her love is so strong it will never alter.

A Mother gives never ending Love.
She never feels that she has given enough.
For you she will always do her best.
Constantly working, there's no time to rest.

A Mother is there when things go wrong.
A hug and a kiss to help us along.
Always there when we need her near.
Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear.

So on this day shower your Mother with Love.
Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough.
Give your Mother a day to have some peace of mind.
Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind.
Happy Mothers Day.

Happy Mother's Day for all the moms out there whose kids are out teaching around the world or to the Moms who are teaching.

It's not mother's day here and what's left of my mother is in an urn a couple of thousand kilometres away, but I think about her a lot anyway. There should be a grandmother's day too.

Happy belated Mother's Day to all!

I just spent a wonderful weekend with my mother. It will probably be the last time I will see her before embarking on my journey into the land of TEFL in Mexico. I will miss her most of all.
