My Mother Got Art and A Personal Poem Put with it For Framing This

Mother's Day

Having to watch my budget more living by myself, I created art and put words of gratitude together for my most deserving Mother. She was always was there for me in my youth, while in College and during my adult life dealing with my schizophrenia. I would like to share my words for my Mother as an example of many a Mum of a person with schizophrenia.

You Are Such A Deserving Mother

Let me count the ways you Mothered me!

You brought me into this World,

then prayed over my troubled start,

you kept me fed with a booby too!

Reared me to get off to school with a lunch box in hand,

you patched my clothes and sowed buttons here and there,

and I could always weasel pocket money out of you!

Then I went to train in a Government College,

you always sent me letters and care packages too,

you came to my graduation and no doubt cried with pride!

I found my way to serve my Country,

as an effective "schizo man" too!

You still Mother me like you used to,

with care packages and a twoony or two,

your prayers are still with me,

and you are the answer to my prayers,

being the Mother that you are!

My Mother has been there for me in so many uncounted ways over the years that I dealt with my schizophrenia, she is sill there for me in bountiful ways and I just wanted to give her this tribute along with all the other Moms, especially of persons with schizophrenia! Note, a twoony is a nick name for a Canadian two dollar coin.
