1. A Tribute to All Mothers

2. What Was I Thinking by tabitha ang

3. What was I thinking …

4. when in this little bubble I stayed …

5. so peacefully …

6. What was I thinking …

7. when by this warm breast I was fed,

8. so securely

9. What was I thinking …

10. when I stretched out my hand

11. and met this loving hand

12. so assuringly

13. What was I thinking …

14. when my butt got soiled with those smelly stuff

15. and these diligent hands came to ‘rescue’

16. so willingly

17. What was I thinking …

18. when the first mouthful of broth

19. into my toothless mouth was fed

20. so yummy

21. What was I thinking …

22. when I stumble and fall

23. and these strong arms lifted me up

24. so instantly

25. What was I thinking …

26. when the gentle voice of prayer

27. I heard beside my little cot

28. so lovingly

29. Yes, finally I figured it out

30. To thank God for creating mom

31. And making you my mom

32. That in times of my needs

33. I am here to receive

34. And so through you, the Lord I may see

35. What was I thinking …

36. when this memory gradually gives way

37. so cruelly

38. What was I thinking …

39. when these eyes blurred … and these ears heavier …

40. so mercilessly

41. What was I thinking …

42. when these shoulders a little slumped

43. and the back a little bent

44. so helplessly

45. What was I thinking …

46. when in the rocking chair you sit alone

47. recalling the days past long ago

48. so vividly

49. What was I thinking …

50. when this often blurted out of your lips

51. “ When I was your age …”

52. so unconsciously

53. Yes, finally I figured it out

54. To thank God for creating mom

55. And making me your child

56. That in times of your needs

57. I am there to render

58. So through me, the Lord you may see

59. I love you, mom !

60. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. (Proverbs 31:28)
