A Mother's Day Poem

I came across this wonderful poem about how often we take our mothers for granted. The author Del "Abe" Jones couldn't have said it any better. If we're the lucky ones whose mothers are still with us, let's not pass up the chance to tell them every day that we love them.

IF SHE'S STILL WITH YOU
by Del "Abe" Jones
(In Memory of Margaret Rader Johnson)

Just a few days ago
A friend lost her Mother
And as we all know
There will never be another.

She's one of the few things in life
That can never be replaced
She's led us down those life's paths
That can never be retraced.

Too many take their Moms for granted
And think they'll always be around
They don't know how She'll be missed
When, one day She's Heaven-bound.

Why we celebrate this special day
Only this one time a year?
When everyday our Mom is special
And we should tell Her, make that clear.

So, if you are a lucky one
Whose Mom is still with you
Tell her everyday you love her
For, that's the least that you can do.
