I need a poem for mothers day, but for someone who is not my mom!?

When i was growing up I lived with my dad and his girlfriend of many years was the closest thing to a mother that i had at the time. (my mom and i werent on speaking terms) Well years later they seperated and we have stayed close all these years despite the fact they are no longer together. She is always getting me cards, poems, quotes, etc. with sayings about."although you are not my own" or "although you are not my real daughter". So this mothers day i am wanting something really special to write in her card for mothers day. Please any suggestions will be helpful.

Hello!


I do not know if it fits to your circumstances, but maybe you can take a look at these poems...





-----------------------------------





I never had a real mom, but


I've had a mom that's real


In all the things that moms should do,


And all the things moms feel.





I never had a mother, but


I've had a mother's love.


I've had the kisses and the hugs


That therapists speak of.





I guess I should be crazy with


The things that I've been through.


But I've had all a kid could need


Because I have had you.








--------------------





Thank you for loving me,


Having me in.


All you have given


Now I hold within.





Kid in a vacuum


You made your own,


Or else I had been


Unloved and alone."

Good luck!
Reply:Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:





Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!





The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.





Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.





Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.





This is a really beautiful poem too!


Women have strengths that amaze us.


They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.


They smile when they want to scream.


They sing when they want to cry.


They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.


They fight for what they believe in.


They stand up for injustice.


They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.


They go without new shoes so their children can have them.


They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.


They love unconditionally.


They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.


They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.


They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.


They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.


Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.


They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.


The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!


Women do more than just give birth.


They bring joy and hope.


They give compassion and ideals.


They give moral support to their family and friends.


Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
