The Gift Treva Mon Jun 28 19:05:11 1999 It is here that we post the things that we are thankful for and today this is my way of saying thank you.*p*When I was small, her arms held me,*br*and her smile said so many things.*br*Her love was unconditional, and always constant,*br*Even when I was not there.*br*I never knew what I would do,*br*If she was ever more than a phone call away.*p*Then I found out,*br*And I was afraid and felt alone,*br*Even among friends,*br*Who would help me and*br*Smile with me and laugh with me*br*And threaten to cut her*br*Grandsons off at the knee if they grew anymore?*p*Then I asked the Goddess, *br*Mother of us all, *br*And she restored to me *br*The greatest gift of all,*br*My Mom.*p*For that I am more thankful than words will can ever tell, but she knows.*p*Treva
