Mother's Day - Your Love is Like Tears from the Stars

Grandmother Hattie, Mom, Aunt Parthenia - Wedding Day, Sept. 1962

Mother's Day is a celebration and tribute to all women in the world who are mothers or who have loved, mothered, guided, supported and nourished others to make this world a better place. In the words of my friend Julie Rainbow: Thank you for sharing your loving, nurturing, and caring Spirit with me and others. You have enriched my life and the world. May the feminine energy continue to express itself and balance life on earth.

Song for Mama - Boyz II Men

You taught me everything
And everything you've given me

I always keep it inside

You're the driving force in my life, yeah

There isn't anything

Or anyone that I can be

And it just wouldn't feel right

If I didn't have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me

When skies were grey

Whenever I was down

You were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be what you have been to me

You will always be you always will be the girl

In my life for all times

Mama, mama you know I love you

Oh you know I love you

Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart

Your love is like

Tears from the stars

Mama, I just want you to know

Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Yes it is

You're always down for me

Have always been around for me even when I was bad

You showed me right from my wrong

Yes you did

And you took up for me

When everyone was downin' me

You always did understand

You gave me strength to go on

There was so many times

Looking back when I was so afraid

And then you come to me

And say to me I can face anything

And no one else can do

What you have done for me

You'll always be

You will always be the girl in my life

Mama, mama you know I love you

Oh you know I love you
Mama, mama you're the queen of my heart

Your love is like

Tears from the stars

Mama, I just want you to know

Lovin' you is like food to my soul

Yes it is

Never gonna go a day without you

Fills me up just thinking of you

I'll never go a day without my mama
