A ngels are a GODSEND . . . and God chose you for me!

P ersistent and determined as you strived to do your best!
T hrough the ups and through the downs . . . committed 'til the end
I nspiring and encouraging . . . as Mother and as friend!
V aluing and treasuring each moment we would share
E ach and every sacrifice showed love beyond compare.

M om . . . you're always there for me so I want you to know
O nly you could fill my world and that I love you, so!
M aybe that why God's great plan would bring us both together
I will love you always, Mom . . . from now
until

A LADY IN WAITING
Written by : Jill Fantin
( 8x10 Print - J2109 )

A nticipation fills my soul as I await the day when�

L aughter fills the nursery as I bow my head to pray.
A sking God to bless and keep this unborn child I love.
D reams and plans are vivid as I seek the Lord above.
Y ou're everything I hoped for and I think I almost see�

I n you a part of Daddy and a little bit of me!
N ow I share the bonds that only Mothers' love can feel.

W hen passing life to someone new makes my life full and real.
A dainty ballerina dancing in a dress of lace?
I see a baseball player scurrying fast to make first base!
T he part of me that's half of you is yours and yours alone.
I feel fulfilled for this could be the greatest joy I've known.
N ever could I match the feeling that I feel for you.
G uessing if your bunting will be pink or

baby blue!
A LETTER TO MOM

(SYMPATHY)
*Available in "I" or "WE" . . . be sure to specify

I couldn't call you © so I thought that I might write ©
You're in my thoughts throughout the day and in my dreams at night
I long so much to hear your voice and talk to you again ©
And share my thoughts and feelings like we used to way back when
I wish that I could ask you "how're you doing?"
and "what's new?"
I wonder if you think of me the way I think of you.
I know you must be happy for it's lovely where you are.
In a land of sunshine bright where you can touch a star.

Mom © I miss you laughter © and your cooking © and your touch
The little things we share between us that have meant so much
I better close this message Mom with all the love it brings.
And ask the Lord to send it now upon an angel's wings
And speed it to you in the way the eagle swiftly flies
It seems like only yesterday
You left for paradise.

A MEAN MOTHER
( 5x7 Print - 05110 )
( 8x10 Print - 0043

A mean mother never allows candy or sweets
To take the place of a well balanced meal.
A mean mother insists on knowing where
Her children are at all times. She also makes a
Point of knowing her children's friends and
Requires them all to come to the door to meet
Her whenever they come to her home.
A mean mother breaks the child labor laws
By making her children work�making
Their beds, learning to cook, washing the dishes,
Taking out the garbage, cleaning their rooms�
And other cruel and unpleasant chores.
She expects proper grooming�brushing
Their teeth, combing their hair, wearing clean
Clothes and keeping a neat appearance.
A mean mother requires her children to
Excel in school and to achieve their full potential.
She demands that all homework be completed.
A mean mother makes life miserable and
Unbearable by insisting her children always tell
The truth. She teaches her children to respect
Themselves as well as the feelings, property, and
The rights of others.
A mean mother produces teenagers who are
Wiser and more sensible. Her inner joy comes
When she sees in them the part of her she tried
So very hard to instill. She can smile with
Secret delight and pride when she hears her own
Grandchildren call their parents 'mean'!
What this world needs are more
'Mean Mothers'!

SHE MUST BE AN ANGEL / MOTHER
( 5X7 Print - 05422)

( 8x10 Print - 0398)
* Poetry by: Lindsey Smit�

She must be an angel sent from above
Her heavenly touch is a symbol of love.
Her job is to love and to give special care
But with this woman there is so much more there
The attention she shows is so true and so real
It's like nothing else you could ever feel
Her personality makes her so outgoing
And respect for you she'll never quit showing.
She'll walk with you through good times and bad
And she'll dry your tears when you're feeling sad.
She's given so much . . . her time energy and care
When you need to talk she always has time to spare
She listens so close and holds you so tight
When you are lost she shows you the light
She'll tell you how beautiful and loved you are
But it wasn't her kind words that found room in my heart
She could never compare to any other
And I thank God that she's
my
Mother

ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT
( 5x7 Print - 05424 )
( 8x10 Print - 0144 )
Written by : Margie Starke

In a few more days�we'll be apart�
And we'll never be as close as we are today.
You are warm and safe�PROTECTED�inside my womb.
I feel you kick and I rub you back.
The bond that has formed between you and I is so great that it has
The Strength of Steel�
The Majesty of a Mountain�
The Power of the Rushing Wind�
And the Light of Day.
You are my child�
You will Always be a part of me.
A love so strong consumes us
Beyond what words can say�
I Love You so much�
And so does Daddy!
We wonder how you will look�
Will you have the curve of my smile?�
Or the sparkle of your Daddies eyes?�
What will your interests be?
Can we keep you from Harm's Way?

There's so much we're waiting to share with you.
Soon it will be time for you to leave the angels�
And come to be with us.
Part of me can't wait to hold you�and see you grow.
The other part of me is savoring
Every precious instant
Of the last few moments that I have you inside me.
You're kicking me again�
It has been another sleepless night�
Time to wake up
Daddy!

At first you called me �Mommy��

The memories within my heart have graced my life with pride.
But none have touched me quite like now
As now you take a bride.

I know love does not demand perfection.
Because she was and is my
Mother . . .
she remains with me
all the days of my life.

DEAR MOTHER WHAT A TREASURE
Written by : Margie Starke
( 8x10 Print - 0009 )

Dear Mother-what a treasure
From this moment you will see
Your heart will soon open
To so much Love�about to be!
A Love so intense
Yet so gentle and caring
A feeling of awe-at the beauty of sharing.

This sweet child of yours
Will enrich your life so and�

In just a few moments
Will help you grow!

From woman to mother
You'll be swept away!

You'll be so very thankful
To share each new day!

Take time to have patience
For endless demands�
And allow time to comfort
Those small pleading hands

The Love that created
Your precious dear child

Is your ultimate gift from heaven
God looked down and smiled!

A CHILD'S ANGEL

( 8X10 Print - 0300)

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
So one day he asked God �They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow
But how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?

God replied �Among the many angels, I chose one for you . . .
She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.

But tell me here in heaven I don't do anything else but sing and smile;
that's enough for me to be happy.

Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day;
and you will feel your angel's love and be happy

And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me
if I don't know the l the language men talk?

Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear.
And with much patience and care your angel will teach you how to speak.?

And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you ?

Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.

I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?

Your angel will defend you even you even if it means risking it's life.

But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.

Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you
the way for you to come back to me even though I will always be next to you.

At that moment there was much peace in heaven but voices from earth could already be heard
and a child in a hurry asked softly . . .
O, God if I'm about to leave now please tell me my angels' name.
Your angels' name is of no importance you
will call your angel
Mommy.


DON'T LET ME FORGET, LORD
( 8x10 Print - 0380 )

Dear Lord . . .
If ever I am given the privilege of having a child,
please don't let me forget this road
I have traveled.

Don't let me forget the tears that have been shed,
the long restless nights, the longings of the heart.

Don't let me forget the pain - both physical and emotional,
or the times when I needed so badly to hear someone say,
�I care� or �Do you need to talk about it?�

Don't let me forget the times of quiet reflection,
the lessons you taught me in patience,
coping, understanding and faith.

Most of all, dear Father, don't let me forget
how you were always there for me . . .
even when I rejected your peace and love.

Lord, help me remember all of these things,
So that if ever someone I know
has to travel this same road,
they won't be as alone as sometimes I have been.

I will be able to say to them
�I don't know where your road ends,
but I know the way is rough
and I will be your friend on this journey.�
Lord, don't let me forget.
In Jesus precious name,
AMEN

She drives around the countryside
with kids and sticks and gear.
To sit for hours and freeze her hide.
Her spirit knows no fear.
She keeps her schedules, gives the rides,
And always lends and ear.
She's always right there on the side
In time to dry a tear.
And while she cheers to praise the team
She just prays to stay warm.
But knows she's hooked upon the game
'Cause she's

IN ABSENSE OFOUR MOTHER
Written by : Jill Fantin

( 8x10 Print - J2249 )

Your kindness and devotion can't compare to any other
For you were here�both then and now
in absence of our Mother.
Your caring ways and dedication radiate a love.
That only through you faith and prayers
bring strength from up above.
In times of difficulty then�you must have felt confused
As we grew older �And In Awe� how you kept us amused
In spite of your own pain and insecurity and fears
You shared your laughter freely managing to hide the tears.
You never faltered through the years�
You opened up your heart�
Your home and everything you had
to give us all a start.
Our deepest prayers are with you now
that God returns to you�
in one hundred fold again
all goodness kind and true.

IN THE EYES OF MY MOTHER
( 5x7 Print - 05512 )
( 8x10 Print - 0270 )

If I seek to understand the nature of God's love
I need only look in the eyes of my Mother.
To me . . . she reflects Gods' special sunshine . . .
Sent to light my faulting walk in the darkness of this world.
And if I fall or stumble down
Her quiet hands are always there
Waiting to lift me.
What love is this ?
So faithful and undying.
So full of sacrifice.
A love I have never earned.
Surely this must be from Heaven.
An extension of Gods' eternal frame of love.
Which is kindled to reflect
Through
the eyes
of my
Mother.

Your baby's older . . . no longer new.
You encouraged me in every way,
I'm proud of you, my turn to say

�Your grace taught me to walk with pride
Your faith blessed me from deep inside.
Your love guided me through old and new
Your tears show me your love is true.

I look ahead and see beginning's not the end
Together, Mom, we'll take the path around the bend.
So much ahead is starting in this life you gave to me
Holding hands and laughing, a team for all to see.

So it is time to ask the question . . .
And please try not to cry.
Am I ready? A suggestion
From a twinkle in Dad's eye.

Part of me is staying while part of me will go
It hurts to love us both, but please you have to know

A million thanks to you, Mom,

Mommy's Boy is all she hoped for . . . he's her pride and joy!
Other boys are special , too . . . but there's none like �her boy.�
Mighty ball of energy he always keeps her guessing.
Mommy's answer to her prayers . . . her precious, little blessing.
Young at heart a Mother stays through all his hugs and kisses.
She always has the time for all his tricks she seldom misses.

Before the day is over they're both ready for a nap.
Of all his favorite places his first choice is Mommy's lap.
Yawning . . . he drifts off to sleep in Mommy's loving care.
What a comfort knowing that
his Mommy's always there.

So many little helpers to join in all the fun.
And Mommy's Little Shadows helps her see the job
Gets done!
The kitchen is their playground�the utensils
Are their toys.
No job ever seems too hard

And though the flour's scattered
when busy days
Are done
They'll fall asleep together
Worn out from
All the
Fun.

For deep warm hugs and being there.
I hope that when you think of me
A part of you
You'll always see.

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE
( 8x10 Print - 0220 )

There once was a baby I cradled in my arms.
Cherishing her smile, her sweetness and charms.
She was my littlest love to dress and hold.
To hug and kiss and sometimes scold.
The tea parties we shared, the books we read.
Chicken soup and movies and prayers before bed.
School projects done at midnight, friendships and fun.
Sleepovers and giggles, beach parties in the sun.
Sweet sixteen memories, the Homecoming dance.
I held it all or was it merely a glance?
For the years have flown, so quickly, so fast.
That sometimes I'm here but my hearts in the past.
I've made mistakes, cried softly in the night.
But look at her today! Wow! I did something right!

She's a bride so enchanting the essence of love.
May all her tomorrows be blesses from above.
Life with so much promise moves along with the tide.
Thank you, Lord for such joy
I'm the
Mother of
The

( 8x10 Print - 0102 )

There are two to wash
and two to dry.
Two who laugh and two who cry!
Double the diapers
Double the pins
Why were we chosen to be the
Parents of twins?
The answer comes clear at the
End of the day
As we tuck them into bed
And silently say�
There are two to kiss and
Two to hug�

But best of all
There are two
To
Love!

M y heart is filled with love and joy and thankfulness to you. Yet�
O verwhelmed with pain for what you must be going through.
To somehow find the strength to do the task you have to do.
H elps to fill my empty arms and makes my dreams come true.
E ntrusting me to care and love this treasure sweet and dear.
R estores my faith and hope and shows me God is always near.

T o guide me as I raise this child with all the love I feel.
O ften I just pinch myself to see if this is real!

M y dreams in life are many but I promise from the start.
O nly now to put this child's needs first in my heart.
T o explain that you chose life precious and new
H olding onto values for this life precious and new
E tched within my heart is love from one �Mom� to another.
R emember though fate made me �Mom�
God's grace has made you �Mother.�

M y Little Precious Angel looks so peaceful as she sleeps.
O f all life's treasured blessings I had hoped she'd be for keeps.
T hough the tides of life have washed my hopes and dreams away. My
H eart is full of heaviness for what I have to say.
E mbrace My Angel with the love and hopes I couldn't share.
R emember to remind her so she knows I'll always care.

T hrough every phase of growing please give an extra kiss.
O nly you can feel the pain for all the things I'm going to miss.

M aybe you can tell her when you feel the time is best�
O f times we planned together for a future full and blessed.
T hat all our decisions made with only her in mind.
H ave built the dreams that otherwise were difficult to find.
E ach time you hold my angel please be patient and be kind.
R eminded in some other town you'll both be on
My mind.
