I Know We Sometimes Argue

  • I know we sometimes argue, and
  • I sometimes blow my lid.
  • But I still love you very much:
  • I'm only just a kid.

  • Sometimes I need to push against
  • The fences you erect,
  • Even though I know they're there
  • To shelter and protect.

  • I know you want the best for me
  • And to keep me from all harm
  • .I just want you to know I couldn't
  • Have a better mom.

Mommy, Please Don't Worry

  • Mommy, please don't worry 'cause
  • I'm doing really well,
  • Even though I miss you on
  • This Happy Mother's Day!
  • Wishing you were with me 'cause
  • In that case I could tell
  • You all the things that happened to me
  • While you were away.
  • I love you even though you can't
  • Be with me just for now.
  • And I know you love me, too,
  • 'Cause I'm your little child.
  • And I'm sure that you will come
  • To me someday, somehow,
  • And I will see you look at me
  • And know that you have smiled.

Grandmothers Are Mothers Who Are Grand

  • Grandmothers are mothers who are grand,
  • Restoring the sense that our most precious things
  • Are those that do not change much over time.
  • No love of childhood is more sublime,
  • Demanding little, giving on demand,
  • More inclined than most to grant the wings
  • On which we fly off to enchanted lands.
  • Though grandmothers must serve as second mothers,
  • Helping out with young and restless hearts,
  • Each has all the patience wisdom brings,
  • Remembering our passions more than others,
  • Soothing us with old and well-honed arts.

About Mother's Day

  • On Mother's Day, we can see people giving carnations to their mothers. Why carnations? This has to do with the history of Mother's Day.
  • In the United States around 150 years ago, Anna Jarvis organized a day to raise the awareness of the poor health conditions in her community. She called it "Mother's Work Day" because mothers could do most to improve families' health.
  • Anna died in 1905 and her daughter, also named Anna, started a campaign to commemorate her mother' s life work. She lobbied businessmen and politicians to create a special day to honour mothers. In 1908, she gave out white carnations, her mother' s favourite flower, at a church service. Finally in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially announced the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day as a public expression of love and reverence to mothers.
  • The tradition has continued and nowadays, many countries celebrate Mother's Day. They choose different dates though. In Hong Kong, some people also give carnations to their mothers. They also give cards and chocolates. Many families go to restaurants.
  • What are you going to do on Mother's Day for your hard-working mother?

Happy Mother's Day!!!

To all the mother in this beuty world....
