God’s Perfect Mother

Before I was even dreamed about,

A long, long time ago.

 I was in the plan, no doubt,

Because God loved me so.

He picked my Mother personally,

One much like an Angel.

He knew that you would love me,

And treat me very special.

God put the sparkle in your eyes,

To remain your whole life through.

So He could quickly recognize,

Just what He thought was true.

He had created the perfect Mother

The day He gave you me.

He knew you’d love me forever,

And always make me happy!

My Mother-In-Law

My Mother-in-Law is very special,

She has a heart of gold.

She must be an earthly Angel,

I felt her wings unfold,

As she wrapped her arms around me,

When I was feeling low.

She carries me in her  heart you see,

And loves me more than I know.

So thank you Heavenly Father,

For this special earthly Angel.

I know there is no other

Mother-in-Law quite so special!

Grandma’s Love

Grandma’s held my heart,

Right from the start.

Her arms open wide,

The safest place to hide.

Inside Grandma’s hug,

All safe and snug.

Grandma’s love appears,

And trouble disappears.

Grandma makes me happy,

Because she loves me.

Grandma wipes my tears,

And chases away my fears.

Grandma’s love will always be

Very precious to me!

My Daughter

God gave me the perfect daughter,

A Mother can only dream about.

He filled our lives with laughter,

Our love we’ll never doubt.

 God meant for us to share

The gifts from up above,

Like tenderness and loving care,

Passed from generations filled with love.

From Grandmother to Mother,

And then to daughter again.

A love like no other,

With each generation we begin.

You are the perfect daughter

To share this legacy forever.

My Daugher (2)

Thank you for every thing you mean to me.

For each blessing God lets me see,

Every time I think of what we share,

And how very much we both care.

My lifelong dream of a home and family,

Was blessed with God’s love so completely.

The moment my eyes first looked at you,

I knew my dreams had all come true.

You were a very sweet, happy baby

 Bringing so much happiness to me.

You’ve filled our lives with a special love,

Sent to all of us from up above.

As a little girl you were very shy,

Your importance in my life I’ll never deny.

You’ve been my best friend when I needed one,

Someone I could always count on.

The love we share will always be,

The greatest treasure between you and me.

My Sister

Someone you tell your troubles to,

When things get the best of you.

She’ll listen and try to understand,

Hug you or even hold your hand.

You love her and she loves you too,

That comforts you when you’re blue.

Unconditional love is the kind you share,

Sisters somehow always seem to care.

Treasured moments spent laughing together,

Are often moments laughing at each other.

The best thing about having a sister

Is having your hearts bound together.

Dad

Looking back now I plainly see,

Wondrous things you've done for me.

When childhood memories come to mind,

You're the hero that I always find.

You were there through all my days,

Loving me in so many ways.

Your strong hands with a gentle touch,

Through the years taught me so much.

You guided me and watched me grow,

Then one day you let me go.

You knew then you'd done your part,

That I'd carry you in my heart.

Thank you Dad for all the years,

For all the laughter and the tears.

God gave you a heart of gold,

He gave me your love to hold.

Your love will always be,

The very best part of me!

Daddy’s Hands

Hands that gently rocked my cradle,

When I was very, very little.

Hands that held me through the years,

Hands that wiped away my tears.

Full of love but very strong,

They gave me a place to belong.

Hands that played ball with me,

Just to make sure I was happy.

You’d give me a kiss and hug,

Making me feel safe and snug.

Then your hands tucked me in bed.

Your hands worked so I was fed.

Strong hands with a gentle touch,

They’ve always given me so much.

I held your hand when I’d walk,

You held mine when we’d talk.

I felt your love in many ways,

Through all of my yesterdays.

All little boys are dreaming of,

A Daddy’s hands full of love!

I’ve always had that with you-

I’ve always loved you too!

Father-in-Law

He’s a quiet man full of wisdom

He learned along life’s road.

He always gives you freedom

To carry your own load.

Yet ready and willing

To lend a helping hand.

His love leaves a blessing

Your heart can understand.

He’s been an inspiration

From the day I met him.

But I thank him most of all

For loving his family.

Because time may recall,

Children learn from what they see.

This man and his wife together

Taught my husband how to love me.

Something I’ll cherish forever,

And will last clear through eternity.

Son

You're grown up, but we still see.

The little boy you use to be.

Playing tricks and hide and seek,

Something new every week.

Cars and trucks and dirty bugs.

Lots of sticky kisses and hugs.

Those days were filled with love,

And everything you dreamed of.

You've made us so proud of you,

We see our dreams came true.

When we look into your eyes,

And the little boy we recognize.

Our love grows more everyday.

In our hearts you'll always stay.

Thank you for being our son,

And the most perfect one.

Big Brother

Brothers’ love wears a disguise,

As a child it’s hard to recognize.

He picked on me until I’d cry,

I didn’t pretend to know why.

He tried to tell me what to do,

Now I know he was protecting me too.

He was always watching out for me,

I got mad because I did not see.

My big brother loved me so,

And I’ll take that love everywhere I go.

Grandson

A miracle happened the day you came,

Our lives will never be the same.

Such a tiny little package filled with love,

Everything our hearts were dreaming of.

You take us back to another time and place,

With the image of your tiny face.

We see the pride in your parents’ eyes,

Looks we had, and still recognize.

The pride a parent feels in their heart,

Remains a lifetime can never part!

We’re proud another generation begun

Placing you in our hearts grandson.

So when we say we love you,

We hope you know it’s true!

Greatest Mother

Each time you held me,

And wiped my tears away,

You left a precious memory,

I hold dear today.

Together through the laughter,

Together through the tears.

You've been the greatest Mother,

Throughout all my years.

I can turn to you,

And find wisdom every time.

You know just what to do

Without reason or rhyme.

Your love is unconditional,

A gift absolutely free.

Something very personal,

You gave to only me.

Mom and Dad

For all the hugs and kisses,

That took away my fears.

For all the toys and surprises,

You gave me through the years.

For all the things you’ve done for me,

Asking nothing in return.

For all the times I made you worry,

Not realizing your concern.

For beautiful memories that we share,

And for being the perfect Mom and Dad.

I want you to know how much I care,

That I’m thankful for the life I’ve had,

Created from the love you gave,

And for teaching me how to love.

Precious memories I’ll always save,

They’re everything that I dream of.

So my love I completely give

Back to the two of you.

For as long as I possibly live,

I’ll remember you love me too!

 Grandma

True happiness shines on Grandma’s face

Each time you walk into the door.

Grandma’s home is the perfect place,

She’s someone that you adore.

A home that’s filled with hope and love,

She’s passed down through the years.

A love God sent from above,

To chase away your fears.

Grandma’s filled with a mighty wisdom,

Her faith in God has brought.

She gives us the freedom,

To learn what she has taught.

Grandma counts her blessings,

One by one as we walk in.

Grandma must have Angel wings,

Hiding somewhere within!

For You, Grandma

I picked this flower just for you,

To remind you how much I care.

Thank you for the things you do-

The love that you always share.

Your arms are always open wide,

Every time I just need a hug.

A special place for me to hide,

So I can feel safe and snug.

Grandma the beauty in this little flower,

I can see within your smile.

A gift that I’ll keep forever,

Your gift only lasts a little while.

Grandma And Grandpa

Grandma’s in the kitchen,

Grandpa’s in the garden.

Grandma’s cooking supper,

Grandpa’s spraying water.

Something’s in Grandma’s oven,

Aroma’s drifting from the kitchen.

We’re blessed with Grandma’s food,

And Grandpa’s jolly mood.

We’re done with all the chores,

So we’ll all sit outdoors.

We’ll watch the sun go down,

As Grandpa acts like a clown.

These moments cherished forever,

Our memories of being together.

My Daughter-in-Law

My son fell in love with you,

And you’ve made his dreams come true.

Your heart belongs to him alone,

The greatest love you’ve both known.

You took his hand and vowed your love

Beginning the journey you were dreaming of.

Together you’ve made a happy family

That brings so much pride to me.

I’m glad when he fell in love with you,

He added you to our family too.

Because our family is filled with love,

God sent to us from up above.

So when I say I love all of you,

I hope you know why it’s true!

Sister-in-Law

My brother fell in love with you,

And all his dreams came true.

When he chose you he didn’t know,

That his family would love you so.

I thank the Lord when I pray,

That you came along our way.

You’ve added such a special part

To our family and my heart.

Most Sister-in-laws aren’t like you,

Spreading kindness in little things they do.

 My Daddy

Spending time with my Daddy,

Always makes me happy.

He is so much fun,

That makes him number one.

Sometimes he tickles me,

Bounces me on his knee.

He throws me up high,

Catches me from the sky.

He likes to play ball,

Even though I am small.

I know I am lucky,

God gave me my Daddy!

Dad

A hero in my eyes,

And you didn’t realize.

I looked up to you,

And felt loved too.

You taught me so much

With your gentle touch.

You showed me you cared

Through the things we’ve shared.

Now that I am grown,

And standing on my own.

I want to say thank you,

And I love you too!

Daddy’s Hands

Hands that gently rocked my cradle,

When I was very, very little.

Hands that held me through the years,

Hands that wiped away my tears.

Full of love but very strong,

They gave me a place to belong.

Hands that played dolls with me,

Just to make sure I was happy.

You’d give me a kiss and hug,

Making me feel safe and snug.

Then your hands tucked me in bed.

Your hands worked so I was fed.

Strong hands with a gentle touch,

They’ve always given me so much.

I held your hand when I’d walk,

You held mine when we’d talk.

I felt your love in many ways,

Through all of my yesterdays.

All little girls are dreaming of,

A Daddy’s hands full of love!

I’ve always had that with you-

I’ve always loved you too!

Grandpa

Grandpa always plays with me.

He’s as special as he can be

He takes my hand when we walk,

He looks at me when I talk.

Our time together is always fun.

In his eyes I’m the special one.

I’m grateful for our time together.

I’ll love Grandpa forever and ever!

My Son-In-Law

I really think I’m lucky,

When I think of you.

How you make me happy,

By everything you do.

You really love my daughter,

That I know is true.

I hadn’t seen her happier,

Before she found you.

I’ve watched your love grow,

It’s really touched my heart.

So I hope you know,

My love will never part.

My Children

One by one each precious memory,

Is recorded within my heart.

All the little things I see,

Seem like a work of art.

Watching my children run and play

Brings a joy I’d never known.

The funny things that they say,

Make me glad they’re my own.

I see love in their eyes,

Knowing that I’m the lucky one.

And time has made me realize

They fill my life with fun.

Grandpa’s Old Tractor

This old tractor is just resting,

 out here in the snow.

It looks old and rusty,

 yet has miles left to go.

When the winter days are gone,

 and spring fills the air.

Grandpa will work for many hours,

 with all his loving care.

That old tractor’s just been waiting,

 for grandpa’s helping hand,

So once again they’ll work together,

plowing grandpa’s land.

Grandpa has taught me so much,

through all the things he’s done.

The love he has given me,

made me the lucky one.
