A Special Mom

It has been said... anybody can be a mother.
But it takes a special person to be a "Mom."
Someone who will...
Provide a safe and nurturing environment
For her son or daughter to grow up in.

Going for that first walk together...
The first of many throughout their lives.
The purchase of that first bike,later - rollerblades.
The beginning of her son's or daughter's library
With the purchase of that first book.
Attending together; playgrounds, ice-rinks, swimming pools...
The involvement of sports...
soccer, hockey, baseball, lacrosse, martial arts,
and dance lessons - just to name a few.

Educating her child...
On the pitfalls and dangers of life.
The importance of right association in...
Food, drink, effort, behaviour, activity, work,
thought, and above all - people.
And the life-defeating consequences of not.

The father and child bonding...
Developing a life-long relationship based on mutual...
Trust, respect, truth, and understanding.
Each bringing out the best in the other.
Each working through what needs to be.

Together, as they journey through life...
The father and child will share the good and the bad,
The right and the wrong,
The beautiful and the not so beautiful.

Each in their own special way, coming to know...
What it is to love and to be loved.
