I am so grateful for the opportunity I have of being a Mom. I can't think of any greater blessing in my life than getting to be a wife and mother. Not a day goes by that I am not full of gratitude for this great blessing in my life. Emily wrote me a poem today that is just beautiful, I thought I would share it.
A Mother
Everyone is given blessings, some are great and some are small.
Each of us is very grateful for them all.
But one special blessing is unlike any other,
That special blessing is the gift of a mother.
A mother will care for you all day and night.
A mother's caring smile will fill a room with love's light.
All day long, a mother cares, cleans, and cooks.
A mother will play games with you or read you your favorite books.
When siblings fight and quarrel and tease,
Only a mother can put them at ease.
If there's something you can't do, or simply don't understand,
A mother will guide you with her loving hand.
If you get lost or start to stray,
A mother will gladly show you the way.
A mother will support you in all that you do.
A mother will constantly show her love for you.
A mother will teach of gospel truths.
A mother will help you prepare while in your youth.
A mother will help you discern wrong from right.
A mother will help you walk in the light.
Mother, I appreciate all that you do.
Dearest mother, I love you.
I am also so grateful for my mother and for all that she taught me and has done for me.
Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers!!!
My kids make it so easy to love them!!

What a beautiful poem! I wish that I'd been in Activity Days sooner so I could have gotten to know Emily better before she moved on to YW. Those kids are adorable and you amaze me with how calm and collected you always seem to be. I have so much yet to learn. Happy Mother's Day, Nicole.
that poem is amazing! what a talented girl. i'm glad you had a good mother's day.
