This Mother's Day my siblings and I put together a song with a spoken message from each one of us for my mom. The concept of the song was born a few years ago, but the task of capturing one such as "mother" was overwhelming and the inspiration to write the song could not be forced. One of my sisters was the one who thought of the idea and wrote the first two lines, which was the spring-board for the rest of the song. The inspiration finally came last week. I am grateful to have this project done, it has consumed my thoughts and spare time for over a week, tomorrow I'll be doing laundry all day. The instruments I used to play and also to record with are sub standard for recording a song, but it's what I have and, like mom's always do, I knew she'd look past the flaws and appreciate the love that was behind it.
My sister and her 2 daughters helped me sing it.
This is a shortened version of the song, I took out the spoken messages from each kid. The original is 9 minutes long.
I hope all of you mothers had a good Mother's Day and felt loved. I did.
You made me cry, you do have the greatest Mom!
