That is a beautiful poem, thanks so much for sharing it. I know I don't have to say this, but to all of you who have a mother who really fits this description, treasure her. I would have no idea what a good mother is, had I not had a wonderful grandmother and I knew then and certainly realize even more now, just how fortunate I was and what a treasure she was and is, even though she's been gone for 31 yrs. My grannie, Ida Mae Estoria Akins Nobles, or Miss Ida Mae as she was known.
