    "Just come as you are" is the point where it became super emotionally charged in my opinion. Wonderful poem!

    "It gets harder and harder to get us all together like this" ... How can I even leave comments when this poem speaks for itself?

    Mother's Day... A hard day for me and my mother, as she lost her mother on that day when I was 12, and I lost a baby that day when I was 27. I have 2 healthy boys, and I pray my heart out on mother's day that God takes no more from me on that day. God bless you all

    Mothers are special women that God anoints and puts in charge of most families, yes Mom is most likely the Head of Household. Respect your Mother because you only get one real one and she loves you with every fiber in her being.
    Happy Mothers Day

      I can't imagine either. We have to figure a way for this madness to stop. But how???
      Sometimes I wonder why God just doesn't wipe us all off the face of the earth again, like He did in Noah's time. Why can't we all just get along...
