HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER'S

Mother's belong to an elite group.

There's no one quite like a Mother.

Fierce in her protection of loved ones.

Yet, gentle as an evening breeze

In caring for her little ones.

Stronger than Hercules in standing for

Right and wrong,

Truth and light.

Yet, so very humble in accepting well-deserved praise

For the work she is doing

Molding the future generation.

Tireless in her pursuit of caring and nuturing

Those tender children entrusted to her.

Invincible she seems,

Never thinking of herself,

No sacrifice too great.

Oh, how quickly the years pass

And, all too soon,

Roles have become reversed

As her children now care for her.

Nurturing, caring, lifting and strengthening

The One

Who gave so freely

Of all she had.

Mother's!

Always there,

Always encouraging,

Always loving,

No matter the circumstances...

Until one day

God calls his precious daughter home.

Then, and perhaps only then,

Does one realize

How blessed they were

To have had such a Mother

As the one God blessed them with.

Today I pay tribute to my Mother,

Nina Mary Davis Kohler.

Mother has now been gone a little over 2 1/2 years.  At 

times it seems like just like yesterday we were saying 

goodbye.  And at other times, it seems like she's been 

gone forever.  How grateful I am to have had such a 

loving and caring Mother.  

She has always been my hero, always positive and upbeat 

even when she didn't feel well.  She never complained 

and always expressed gratitude and thanks for help she 

received.  Keeping busy was a must, even when her 

eyesight began to fail her, she still continued to do handwork.  

She has been my example these past couple of years as I have struggled with cancer.  Recognizing her strengths, example, patience, and endurance have 

lifted me and pulled me through many, many times.  

My motto is "If she could do it, so can I".  

Thank you, Mother! 

Mother loved her daughters and grandchildren.  She truly cherished those moments of togetherness.  

 

"A Mother lives in the hearts of her children forever."

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mothers and future Mothers!
