‘A Mother’s Day Poem’

‘a mother’s day poem’. by leilani armendariz, captain–. it happens each and every year within the month of may; the second sunday it does fall we call it “mother’s day.”. this is a day when children will take most extra care to serve and help around the house to get along and share. a day we show our gratitude through chocolates, flowers and cards; a day mom doesn’t have to cook or work out in the yard. we shower her with special love and gifts that are homemade; we thank her over and over again for sacrifices made. we know that she’s a special gift sent here from god above, to teach us how to be our best to comfort with a hug. to kiss the pain and hurt away, to offer sound advice, to whisper soft encouragement and to example christ. this year i’d like to recognize the mothers in our corps, the women who work, day and night, and then they work some more. but please don’t be mistaken, i’m not just referring to the women who have children in their homes that they tend to. no, this day also belongs to those who see you every week, the women who offer prayer and wisdom you may seek. the women who have adopted you and cared for you as their own, the women who have fed you and invited you into their home. this day belongs to all of them, so honor all we will, to show appreciation for the unconditional love we feel. this mother’s day we say “thank you” to each and every one; your deeds don’t go unnoticed, so, your praise won’t go unsung.
