As Landry was outside last week picking "flowers", I was reminded of a song. This is a song I was asked to sing at a mother's day banquet a few years back. I remember that I couldn't look at my mom while singing the song for fear that I would cry. It's as if this song was written especially for me to sing to my mom. It describes our relationship perfectly.
I'd been out in the yard
pickin dandelions all day
I burst through the front door
when I'd gathered enough
to give to my mom, to show her my love
when I held out my hands
she looked down at me,she said
I've never seen flowers
as beautiful as these
she's the one
who told me about Jesus
she's the one
who taught me to sing
she deserves, an armful of roses
she's satisfied with a handful of weeds
Now that I'm older and out on my own
I wish I could find more time
to make it back home
I couldve done better, I know in my heart
than to scribble a note
on a last minute card
And then she calls on the phone
and the first thing she says
is I've read this card over and over again
she's the one
who told me about Jesus
she's the one
who taught me to sing
she deserves, an armful of roses
she's satisfied with a handful of weeds
She's always known
what true love means
and I want her to know
what she means to me !
she's the one
who told me about Jesus
she's the one
who taught me to sing
she deserves, an armful of roses
she's satisfied with a handful of weeds
She's more than satisfied, with a handful of weeds.
Mom, I love you so much! I am so thankful that God gave me YOU for a mom. You are so selfless and have always been such a huge inspiration to me. I pray that Landry and I can have a relationship as special as ours! You're the BEST!
