Hey.. I was thinking.. Once we read this and get that warm soft sweet feeling.. Why don't we either add a fav piece or write a fav memory / moment that came to mind, why our Mum's (that's Aussie for Mom) are sooooo special & important to us.. Or embarassing.. I'll leave it up to you.. A MOTHER'S DAY TRIBUTE.. so to speak.. they are such special people.. If anyone has some idea's on the best way/place to capture this, just start that up.... Enough of this.. Just read the piece.. it great! Blessings Ozi..

Happy Mother's Day..

An Awesome Mum

Before I was a Mum, 
I never tripped over toys 
or forgot words to a lullaby. 
I didn't worry whether or not 
my plants were poisonous. 
I never thought about immunizations. 

Before I was a Mum, 
I had never been puked on. 
Pooped on,
Chewed on, 
Peed on. 
I had complete control of my mind 
and my thoughts. 
I slept all night. 

Before I was a Mum, 
I never held down a screaming child 
so doctors could do tests. 
Or give shots. 
I never looked into teary eyes and cried. 
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. 
I never sat up late hours at night 
watching a baby sleep. 

Before I was a Mum, 
I never held a sleeping baby just because 
I didn't want to put him down. 
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces 
when I couldn't stop the hurt. 
I never knew that something so small 
could affect my life so much. 
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mum. 

Before I was a Mum, 
I didn't know the feeling of 
having my heart outside my body. 
I didn't know how special it could feel 
to feed a hungry baby. 
I didn't know that bond 
between a mother and her child. 
I didn't know that something so small 
could make me feel so important and happy. 

Before I was a Mum, 
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night 
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. 
I had never known the warmth, 
the joy, 
the love, 
the heartache, 
the wonderment 
or the satisfaction of being a Mum. 
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, 
before I was a Mum. 

Have a fantastic Mothers Day.
