Moss Rose

She was there at the beginning...

And she'll be there your whole life through...

She'll be there in your mind and heart...

Just like any mommy is supposed to do.
HAPPY MOMMY'S DAY TO MOMS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!
2011's 2nd Sunday of May is only 4 days away! The majority of countries will be celebrating Mother's Day again. I can't believe this celebration started all the way back in the early Egyptian days with the great Goddess Isis who was regarded as the Mother of Pharaohs.
I specially chose to write about the Moss Rose this Mother's Day. Do you know why?

These flowers are fast-growing weed-like plants that grow everywhere, even in poor sandy or gravelly soils. They love the sun and needs very little care. I have asked a few friends whether they realized that this flower is a rose and none had noticed!

Mothers are always there. They are beautiful people but we have no time to notice. They need little care because they are always caring for us. And, no matter how tough life is for everyone, mothers are our rocks as they weather all kinds of circumstances the best they know how. Rarely do I witness a mother giving up on her child. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same with children nowadays.

MOTHER: the most beautiful word on the lips of mankind. (Khalil Gibran)

A symbol of beauty, strength and wisdom....AND LOVE!!!

We thank you God for the love of the mothers you have given us,

whose love is so precious that it can never be measured,

whose patience seems to have no end.

We ask You to continue to bless mothers around the world for they are our anchors in life.

This is my Mommy, Dorothy.

I thank you, Mommy,

for believing in me,

for trusting my thoughts, disappointments, and dreams.

Thank you for putting so much thought and care in our friendship,

for sharing so many nice times and making so many special memories with me.

Thank you Mommy for being my best friend in so many meaningful ways.
