MOTHER'S DAY

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL

...from Reavis Funeral Home of Statesville

We hope that you are able to enjoy time with family and your mother this Mother’s Day. However, we know that many of you can only have memories of your mother. We want to share two poems with you. Whether you still have your mother here with you or not, both of these poems will provide an opportunity for reflection on how grateful we should be for our precious mothers:

    As We Look Back

As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering …..
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us …..
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We’re thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you mean/meant to us.

     About Mothers

You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother up above;
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
