A tribute to all the moms in our lives Version with audio on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItQv_TZ-jEU

1. Mother’s day is just around the corner…

2. but have you really taken the time…

3. to think about who we are… as mothers…?

4. We are her…

6. and her….

8. and her…

9. We are sassy

11. and also sweet.

13. We are tender…

15. and we are tough.

17. We work from home

19. or in the home

21. or at the office.

23. Some of us are golden…

24. and some of us are green.

26. We are decorated

28. and silly,

30. spiritual,

32. and studious,

34. and sometimes we lose our way.

36. Some days we know it all…

40. and sometimes, we’ve still got a lot to learn.

41. We are sisters, daughters and granddaughters,

44. and this prepares us for the mothers we will become.

46. We are nurturing,

48. and introspective,

50. and we come from every walk of life.

53. We are role models for our children…

57. Some days are harder than others

59. and our self image may begin to deteriorate…

60. But you can bet we’ll do just about anything,

62. To find a little balance

64. and be there for our children.

68. Because at the end of the day…

70. that’s really where we want to be.

72. Forward this to every mother you know, young and old, new and seasoned. And let her know how much you appreciate the selfless work she does.
