MOM ... I literally took it to mean Mother of Many

One Grandpa said to another Grandpa, "Have I  shown you pictures of my Grandkids?" and the other Grandpa replied, "No, and I thank you".

Warning...this is a transferware free post.  This post contains family content and photos.

~A special thanks to those who make me Mom, aka Mother of Many~ 

Dear God,

How could it be
that you would choose to choose me
to bring forth through your plans so utterly divine
these children you give
while saving the mother to be
now leaving her mark to pass on through all time?

Dearest Mom, (aka Momma Jolene, Momma Jo...her name is Marilyn though)

Unto others, you offer such beauty,
So rare it is supremely divine
Both physical and inward being
Such treasures we seldom find.

Through spirit you have spoken
To me...which is also part of mine
And passed along these words I use
But until now, could never find.

And it is that I, through what I write
Pay tribute to my Mother and my mentor
For inbreeding in me- a want to be
One giving much of all that's in her.

To Judy, my Mother in law....and Jim to, my Father in law...

For your son, my life's dearest and true love,
I thank you both immensely; with gratitude I impart:
Raising this man, to be every man for me,
I say thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Michael, Ethan, Jonah, Kalyn, Trevor & Ashton 

But to see the smiles
On each ever enchanting face
Leaves me caught in a moment
I wish never to replace-
For such joy they bring
To my inward souls being-
A sacred home I've created
Through all I am seeing.
Please continue to show love
Through each precious smile
And leave not my hearts home,
No, not even for a while.

Times are many when I feel lost,
But you pick me up and prove me found.
You speak to me with your eyes,
Knowing you need not make a sound.
You let me be me and love me for me,
And to you I am willingly bound.
Living it through, my life with you,
Together we stand on unshaken ground.
