Mothers Day Thread
 

Well mine has passed at the end of 2011 so it has profoundly changed this day.

Im sure there is many of us here with that same feeling. So how about a thread to celebrate them anyway. Mine always loved music and dancing.

This song has new meaning for me...
Paul Simon - Mother And Child Reunion (1972)

This one I have lived by and love it ever since it came out.


Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

this is another Dan one I particurly like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HXivdPva2s and the lyrics,

I've been ridin' a winning horse for a long, long time
Sometimes I wonder is this the end of the line
No one should take advantage of who they are
No man has got it made
If he thinks he does, he's wrong

Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday

I've seen it happen so many times, so many times before
Some man got so much money he doesn't worry no more
Or he's got such a pretty woman that'll treat him fine
My friend has been a fool
It happens everytime

Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday

I'm not tryin to preach to no one, to no one at all
I've seen so many of my good friends just rise to fall
'cause they got so much money or a woman so fine
My friends have all been fools, it happens every time

Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday

What I say
Every mother's son better hear what I say
Every mother's son will rise and fall someday

Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall someday

A little over a year ago my Mother passed away. Have to keep busy or dwell to much on the loss.





Barney

It's a tough one Barney they provided so much to our lives. Even as we have grown old it's like a certain protection and love has been lost. Something no other entity in our lives could ever provide.

But I'll celebrate her being....


My mom had this album (I have it now) I remember sitting on her lap and her singing and teaching me the song.

Harry Belafonte Carnegie Hall

So true, My mom was a people person and the life of a party.


The party started when she arrived.

I'm so sorry to here that Steve it's your first mothers day without her. Looking back although not that long ago it was a tough day for me. I was also on line then sharing with others that all where going or had been though the same thing, it helped a lot.You got my support if you like. Tell use some of your found memories and things she liked.
