Happy Mother's Day all!!! I am eternally grateful for my beautiful Mother, Grandmas, Aunts and friends that are doing the hardest job in the world! Being a mom is not for the weak! So here (holding a mimosa) is to you!
I feel insanely honored that there was an article written about my mama and me on Sheknows.com "Am I Becoming My Mother" this week, and wanted to share it with you!
Back in 1999 my Dad wrote this sweet poem for my mom that I also wanted to share with you all! I hope you enjoy it!!
My Place in the Animal Kingdom
For all the years it’s haunted me…“What was my role in life”?
And while I searched to find it, I “filled in” as Mom and Wife.
I had longed for a title, a position, a degree…
And if I were an animal, which one would I be?
A wise old owl that knows it all or a sly and cunning fox?
In business, would I be a shark or wash up on the rocks?
A bull in the marketplace or a quiet, passive lamb?
How long would I have to wait to find out who I am?
Then a snake came near my den one day and I was suddenly aware…
When he tried to steal my cubs away…that I’m a snarling Mama Bear.
Written by Bill McCulloch for his wife, Kim in 1999
Happy Mothers Day!!
sweet post..
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!!
DeleteI read the article and it is great, Molly. I think, perhaps, we all have at least a little of our mother's in us. Your mother is lovely and the poem your father wrote is very good.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lynn! I definitely find myself becoming more and more like my mama every day! I hope you have a wonderful week!
