A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost
He halted in the wind, and–what was that
Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
He stood there bringing March against his thought,
And yet too ready to believe the most.

Best Mom Award
When all I did was cry a lot,
And as I grew your work did too–
I ran and fell and got black and blue.
Now you had to become a cop,
To worry about mistakes I’d make;
You kept me in line for my own sake.
You were always there whenever I needed.
You guided me and wished me the best,
I became wiser and knew I was blessed.
The love I felt for you each day,
Mom, read this so you can always see
Just how much you mean to me.
Camomile Tea by Katherine Mansfield
Outside the sky is light with stars;
There’s a hollow roaring from the sea.
And, alas! for the little almond flowers,
The wind is shaking the almond tree.

Daughter of My Heart
Than I often dreamed you’d be;
You’re more than I had hoped for;
You’re a sweet reward to me.
Full of wisdom, warmth and love,
A good and fine role model,
A blessing from above.
Than I am today of you;
You’re my daughter and my friend,
And a wonderful person, too.
I adored you from the start;
It’s a privilege to be your mother,
Dear daughter of my heart.
For The Moment
Life is simple and gay
The bright sun rings with a quiet sound
The sound of the bells has quieted
down
This morning the light hits it all
The footlights of my head are lit again
And the room I live in is finally bright
Just one beam is enough
Just one burst of laughter
My joy that shakes the house
Restrains those wanting to die
By the notes of its song
I sing off-key
Ah it’s funny
My mouth open to every breeze
Spews mad notes everywhere
That emerge I don’t know how
To fly toward other ears
Listen I’m not crazy
I laugh at the bottom of the stairs
Before the wide-open door
In the sunlight scattered
On the wall among green vines
And my arms are held out toward you
It’s today I love you
Happy mothers days
“Happy Mother’s Day” means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.
But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.
Love Is A Mother’s Gift
To fill their hearts with love so rare.
Their children are their greatest prize;
You can see the great love in your mother’s eyes.
To their precious children, their hearts to lift.
Warm, tender and giving love
That grows them up healthy and happy.
To help me grow and to help me live.
I will love you forevermore,
My mother, my mom, whom I adore.
To their precious children, their hearts to lift.
Warm, tender and giving love
That grows us up healthy and happy.
Moment’s Indulgence
I ask for a moment’s indulgence to sit by thy side. The works
that I have in hand I will finish afterwards.
Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite,
and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil.
Today the summer has come at my window with its sighs and murmurs; and
the bees are plying their minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove.
Now it is time to sit quite, face to face with thee, and to sing
dedication of life in this silent and overflowing leisure
Momentary by George William Russell
THE SWEETEST song was ever sung
May soothe you but a little while:
The gayest music ever rung
Shall yield you but a fleeting smile.

Moments Of Vision by Thomas Hardy
That mirror
Which makes of men a transparency,
Who holds that mirror
And bids us such a breast-bare spectacle see
Of you and me?
That mirror
Whose magic penetrates like a dart,
Who lifts that mirror
And throws our mind back on us, and our heart,
until we start?
That mirror
Works well in these night hours of ache;
Why in that mirror
Are tincts we never see ourselves once take
When the world is awake?
