May 2011 Inay/Nanay/Inang/Mama/Mother,
In behalf of the CommUNITY, we wish all mothers a Happy Mother's Day. Wishing you all the great things in life, and we hope this day will bring you an extra share of all that makes you happy.
Wonderful Mother of Mine
The moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of that wonderful mother of mine. The birds never sing but a message they bring Of that wonderful mother of mine. Just to bring back the time, that was so sweet to me, Just to bring back the days, when I sat on her knee.
I pray every night to our Father above, For that wonderful mother of mine. I ask Him to keep her as long as He can That -- wonderful mother of mine. There are treasures on earth, that made life seem worthwhile, But there's none can compare to my mother's smile.
You are a wonderful mother, dear old Mother of mine. You'll hold a spot down deep in my heart, 'Till the stars no longer shine. Your soul shall live on forever, On through the fields of time. For there'll never be another to me, Each melodious measure, Oft the teardrops flowing, Oft they flow from my memory's treasure.
Thanks,
Heidi Abad, Treasurer and Membership & Recruitment Committee Chairperson Filipino CommUNITY of New Brunswick (FCNB) Building Our CommUNITY Together
