what was that poem or info on moms?

Question

I found on yahoo answers this thing about "your mom showed you unconditional love when blah blah....and then "you did something" and then at the end it said "then your mother silently passed away". It didn't ryme, but it was a point across about how ur mother loves you unconditionally and how you paid her in return

these are good too, but not the one i was looking for . Again it wasn't really a poem, it was more like
"When your mother "took you to the soccer game",
You repaid her by not thanking her
it was kinda like that and then at the end it said "then one day your mother silently passed away" and somehting about not ever to thank ing her. It was a real tear jerker

Answer 2

You reminded me of this one:

Title:NO CHARGE

Artist(band) :J. J. BARRIE

NO CHARGE - 05/07/1976
1 week at #1 - 11 weeks on chart

Now our little boy came up to his mum in the kitchen this evenin'
While she was fixin' supper
And he handed her a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' her hands on her apron
She read it - and this is what it said

For mowin' the lawn - five dollars
For makin' my own bed this week - one dollar
And for goin' to the store - fifty cents
An' playin' with little brother, while you went shoppin' - twenty-five cents

Takin' out the trash - one dollar
Gettin' a good report card - five dollars
And for rakin' the yard - two dollars
Total owed - fourteen seventy-five

Well, as mum looked at him standin' there expectantly
And I could see the mem'ries flashing through her mind
And so she picked up the pen, and turnin' the paper over
This is what she wrote

For the nine months I carried you
Growin' inside me - No charge
For the nights I've sat up with you
Doctored you, and prayed for you - No charge
For the time and the tears
That you've cost through the years, there's No charge
And when you add it all up
The full cost of my love is No charge

For the nights filled with dread
And all the worries ahead - No charge
For advice and the knowledge
And the cost of your college - No charge
For the toys, food and clothes and even for wipin' your nose
There's No charge, son
And when you add it all up
The full cost of my love, is - No charge


Well, when he finished readin'
He had great big old tears in his eyes
And he looked up at her standing there and said
Mama, I sure do love you
Then he took the pen,
And in great big letters
He wrote PAID IN FULL

Lord knows when you add it all up
The cost of real love is - No charge

IS THIS IT?:

A year ago on this day
My mother silently passed away
Forced into succumbing to cancer
I prayed, and received no answer

A whole year has all ready passed
But I just can’t see to put it in the past

Life isn’t as easy with you gone
My soul seems to have withdrawn
And left to heaven with yours
Where they dance on silver moonlit shores

I’ll never understand the way things work
Why sometimes God is such a jerk

I’ll always remember the trips to the park
Playing in my red wagon until dark
I’ll always remember the trips to the beach
And of course the things you would teach

But most of all I’ll miss having my mother
The spot can be filled by no other
I miss the grandma my kids will never meet
That space will always be incomplete

You were the best mother I could ask for
You weren’t just my mother, but so much more
You truly were my best friend
And my heart will never mend

Remember those trips to Mexico?
Every summer we used to go
I would give my soul for one more trip
I swear I would never again give you lip

I would give it all for one more day with you
One more chance to make it anew

As I write this tears stream down my cheek
Without you I’m so very weak.
I’m sick of having to be the strong one
I’ve got to learn to leave my feeling’s undone

Mom there is so much that I miss
But most of all your mother kiss
And your touch on my cheek
When days just seemed so bleak

You’ll forever live in my mind
Our souls now entwined
I love you more than I could ever show
I miss you more than you’ll ever know

Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called mom though some may not say it openly to their mother.

There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment.

Though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!!!

She will be there for you... to listen to your woes, your braggings, your frustations, etc.

Ask yourself... have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her "blues" of working in the kitchen, her tiredness???

Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from hers.

Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Love her more than you love yourself.
Life is meaningless without her ....
