*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***
You know... we don't have to wait till Mother's Day
to treat Mom's, in fact it is even more appreciated to
let her know how special she is in little ways all
the time. I chose this dessert recipe today because it
was emailed to me with rave reviews and would make a great
Mom appreciation treat.
POEM FOR ALL MOTHERS
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
Enjoy!
