A Thousand Thanks – A poem by By Joanna Fuchs to honour motherhood, to connect to feelings of gratitude, appreciation and forgiveness.
Mother’s Day brings to mind
The thousands of things you did for me
that helped make me happier,
stronger and wiser.
I’m grateful for all the times
you healed my hurts
and calmed my fears,
so that I could face the world
feeling safe and secure.
I’m thankful for all you showed me
about how to love and give–
lessons that now bring
so many blessings to me
each and every day.
Your sacrifices and unselfishness
did not go unnoticed, Mom.
I admire you, I respect you,
I love you.
And I’m so glad you’re my mother!
Happy Mother’s Day!
