Flowers for My Mother (Mother's Day 2008)

For my mother, on Mother's Day -


Thank you for everything you've ever done for me,

everything you've ever said to me,

all the thoughts and time you've spent on my behalf,

and the boundless love you've shown me every day of my life.


I probably didn't deserve it,

I certainly could never have asked for it,

but you've given it all the same, freely and unfailingly.


Thank you, thank you, and again thank you -

mere words can never express the depth of my gratitude,

or my love.
