Mother’s Day Ramblings

Mother’s Day Ramblings©

Mother’s Day, is soon upon us,
from whence we came, it does remind us.
From time to time, we contemplate,
her loving sacrifices and care so great.

Happy Mother's Day©

A special wish for you all, who are today, or may, be in the future, Mothers.
To Wives, to Mom's and to all Grandmas,to Daughters and the Wives of Sons and to all Sisters, of their Brothers.

A special day, indeed it is,to commemorate, the art of Motherhood.
A lifetime of dedication, born of love, nurtured, truly only, as a Mother could.

Devotion, care and worry,with many tiring days and many sleepless nights.
Loving struggles, to maintain hearth and home,and to make all things alright.

While growing up, she made well again, all bruises, cuts and scrapes and broken hearts as well.
Mother cured them all, with hugs and smiles and cookies, and other special secret things, we promised not to tell.

Our special thanks to you,and to Mothers everywhere.
For on our Mom's knee we learned, of love and hope and what it means to care.

Happy Mother's DayRichard G. Shuster (from Rick’s Random Ramblings, Happy Mother's Day©)


Happy Mother's Day to the Mothers of All Our Grandchildren©

Just wishing each of you a great Mother's Day and thanking you, for all the beautiful and special Grandchildren you have brought into our lives....Each of the Grandchildren is a blessing and of special value to us. We love them all and know they are in good hands. Motherhood is not an easy task, nor one to be taken lightly. God has entrusted their well being and care to you. We know each of you is the best Mother you can be and the lives of your children reflect the wonderful job you are doing. Thank you for bringing these special spirits into our lives.

This is written for the Mothers of our currently numbered 19 Grandchildren. Thank you to the Mothers of all our Grandchildren.Richard G. Shuster (from Rick's Random Ramblings, Happy Mother's Day to the Mothers of All Our Grandchildren©)

Treasure Boxes©

Treasure Boxes are fun and sad and often filled with marvelous items, the kind mostly of which memories are made. A photo of that most special person in your life, a lock of hair from a child or was it a long ago sweetheart, a broach that was Great Grandmas’, the one with the pin missing; one baby shoe, the other got lost in a move long ago, a pocket/purse bible, with now hard to read, almost scribbling, a fervent prayer written inside the back cover, when a child was ill and hope was stretched beyond it’s limits. A poem from a friend that always brought a smile, an old coin, from some far away land, a child written note that had I love you scrawled across it, an obituary yellowed with age, someone you don’t know, wonder who that was? An embroidered handkerchief only used to dry up tears. And what’s this in the bottom?, another photo, I wonder who it is, I’m sure it’s someone special, oh look, it is my picture, excuse me please, I need to cry, I wish I didn’t cry like this, but I miss her so much, especially today, you see, I’ve been going through the Treasure Box.

Richard G. Shuster (from Rick’s Random Ramblings, Treasure Boxes©) Dedicated to all Mothers and Grandmothers who left us their Treasure Boxes and to all of those of us who have gone through their Treasure Boxes after our Moms and Grammas have gone. It seems the Treasure Boxes live long after their owners have gone on to their great reward.
