♥ Happy Mother's Day

" M " is for the million things she gave to me
" O " means only that she's growing old
" T " is for the tears she shed save to me
" H " is for her heart of purest gold
" E " is for her eyes, with love - light shining
" R " means right, and right she'll always be

To my mother - Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me,
And filled my heart of hearts, where death installed you,
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.My mother -- my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are the mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
But that infinity with which my wifeWas dearer to my soul that its soul-life.

Happy Mother's Day ♥
