My Dearest Son

I remember sitting in the swing with you when you were so small... Thinking of days ahead as to what kind of a wonderful kind man you would one day become

With all my prayers and hopes tucked in a special place in my heart I prayed the best for you and that your life would be filled with all your dreams

I do not know where those days have gone,... seems like just yesturday , we were sitting on the swing....

Every memory of you growing up is imbedded in my heart . To watch you grow, and find your way has not always been easy for you. You've grown in such a remarkable way, Always setting your goals taking them one step at a time and building your path in life with sheer determination never giving up and always seeing the light at the end of that long road no matter how far away it seems

You have filled all my dreams , My son. and God answered my prayers. I am always so proud of you with each accomplishment you make for I know some have been difficult But you never give up when you see that light in the distance

~ Love Mom ~

God Bless You My Son

You Will Always Be My Angel From Heaven

You Are One Of God's Miracles

Though It Seems Like Only Yesturday

When You Sat Upon My Knee,

Oh Such Sweet, Sweet, Memories

That You Have Given To Me...

And It Seems Like the other day

WhenYou Began To Talk And

Your Tiny Hands Combined With Mine ..

To Help You LearnTo Walk. ..

As Precious Years Have Come And Gone...

I've Treasured Each, And Watched You Grow. ..

I Love You More, Than Word Say.. .

God Bless You,

Each And Everyday

My Son...

~With Loving Thoughts of You~

~My Son~

To see you happy -laughing and dancing

smiling and content

striving towards goals of your own

accomplishing what you set out to do

having fun with yourself and your friends

capable of loving and being loved

is what I always wished for you

Today I thought about your beautiful face

and felt your excitement for life

and your genuine happiness

and I, as your Mom, burst with pride

as I realized that my dreams for you came true

What an extraordinary person you have become

and as you continue to grow

please remember always

how very much

I love you

Mother's Day is every Day because of you

To My Son

I feel so fortunate to have you for a son
I love your bright face
when we talk seriously about the world
I love your smile
when you laugh
at the inconsistencies in the world
I love your eyes
when you are showing emotion
I love your mind
when you are discovering new ideas
and creating dreams to follow

Many people tell me that
they cannot talk to their children
that they cannot wait
for them to leave home
I want you to know,
that I enjoy you so much and
I look forward to any time
we can spend together

Not only are you my adored son
but you are also my friend
I am so proud of you
my son and
I love you

What Moms Learn

I gave you life,
but cannot live it for you.
I can give you directions,
but I cannot be there to lead you.

I can allow you freedom,
but I cannot account for it.
I can teach you right from wrong,
but I cannot decide for you.

I can offer you advice,
but I cannot accept it for you.
I can give you love,
but I cannot force it upon you.

I can teach you to share,
but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you respect,
but I cannot force you to show honor.

I can advise you about friends,
but cannot choose them for you.
I can advise you about sex,
but I cannot keep you pure.
I can tell you about drink,
but I can't say "no" for you.
I can warn you about drugs,
but I can't prevent you from using them.

I can tell you about lofty goals,
but I can't achieve them for you.
I can teach you about kindness,
but I can't force you to be gracious.
I can pray for you,
but I cannot make you walk with God.
I can tell youhow to live,
but I cannot giv e you eternal life

~May You Always Feel Loved~

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world
you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known and the conflict
you have experienced give you the strength
to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism.

Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there,
even when you feel most alone.
May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace.

May a kind word,a reassuring touch,a warm smile
be yours every day of your life,

And may you give these gifts as well as receive them.

Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.
Teach love to those who know hate,
and let that love embrace you as you go into the world.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you,
so that you may call upon them.

Remember, those whose lives you have touched
and who have touched yours are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less
than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter
that is more important than its form.

May you not become too concerned with material matters,
but instead place immeasurable value
on the goodness in your heart.

Find time in each day to see beauty and love
in the world around you.
Realize that each person has limitless abilities,
but each of us is different in our own way.
What you may feel you lack in one regard may be more
than compensated for in another.

What you feel you lack in the present may become
one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled
with promise and possibility.

Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength to
determine your own worthby yourself,
and not be dependent on another's judgements
of your accomplishments.

May you always feel loved.

Possibilites

Life's filled with possibilities
that challenge us each day
To take a chance, try somethiing new
see things a different way

And its thru these special moments
that we learn to change and grow
To explore the special gift
of who we are and what we know
For its not until we try
that we find out what we can do
So don't wait untiil Tomorrow
to discover something New

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken
, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
