Sometimes children fail to appreciate
the blessings in their lives-
for in the midst of their own living
they inadvertently fail to realize
their mother has never left their side.
They were merely a short distance away.
When confronting them with needs,
their attention and devotion did not fade.
Lest not forget to honor a mother
with respect, love, and gratitude.
Regardless of turbulent times,
a caring mother is always there for you.

Joseph T. Renaldi
