I can spell it any way you like,
In blue font, green font, black, or gray
I can type it big or type it small,
I can format it any which-a-way.

But there’s one thing that will always be
Like the sun and moon and stars above
I can spell it so it looks like “MOM”
But in my heart, it’s pronounced like “LOVE”

My Mother's Hands
Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They're neither white nor small,
And you, I know, would scarcely think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptor's dream might be,
Yet are those wrinkled, aged hands
More beautiful to me.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
Though heart were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling on
That the children might be glad.
I always weep, as looking back
To childhood's distant day,
I think how those hands rested not
When mine were at their play.

Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They're growing feeble now;
For time and pain have left their mark
On hands and heart and brow.
Alas, alas! the nearing time
And the sad, sad day to me,
When 'neath the daisies out of sight
These hands will folded be.

But oh! beyond this shadow-land,
Where all is bright and fair,
I know full well these dear old hands
Will palms of victory bear;
Where crystal streams through endless years
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again,
I'll clasp my mother's hands.

The Bedtime Kiss
O mothers, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain of the noise and the play;
For the day brings so many vexations,
So many things gone amiss:
But, mothers, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with a kiss.

The dear little feet wander often,
Perhaps from the pathway of right;
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night;
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite blessings,
Send the children to bed with a kiss.

For some day their voice will not vex you,
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for the sweet childish voices,
For a sweet childish face at the door;
And to press a child's face to your bosom—
You'd give all the world just for this:
For the comfort 'twill bring you in sorrow,
Send the children to be with a kiss.

My Mother Dear
There was a place in childhood
That I remember well,
And there a voice of sweetest tone
Bright fairy tales did tell,
And gentle words and fond embrace
Were given, with joy, to me,
When I was in that happy place
—Upon my mother's knee.

When fairy tales were ended,
"Good night," she softly said,
And kissed and laid me down to sleep
Within my tiny bed;
And Holy Words she taught me there—
Methinks I yet can see,
Her angel eyes, as close I knelt
Beside my mother's knee.

In the sickness of my childhood,
The perils of my prime,
The sorrow of my riper years,
The cares of ev'ry time...
When doubt and danger weighed me down—
Then pleading, all for me,
It was a fervent prayer to Heaven
That bent my mother's knee.
Mother's Day Poetry by Samuel Lover

Set of Poems for Mother’s Day
By Susan M. Keenan ©2007

Thank You Mom

Guide me gently on my way
Through each and every single day.
Give me words of encouraging praise
That helps me through my life’s maze.
Thank you mom for being you
I love you most, yes, I do!

Praises of My Mom

The sun is shining brightly
As my mother speaks so lightly.
She fills my heart with hope and love
As she stands so tall above.

A bird is singing in the tree,
Singing just for mom and me.
She takes my hand as I take hers
As love for her inside me stirs.

Safe Harbor

What port shall I go to now to find safe passage,
If not to the arms of my mother?
My mother is the strongest person alive,
For she has no fear when it comes to protecting me.
She is the only one alive who can make me feel better
When my world seems ready to tumble down around me
I cannot but feel the happy tears fill up in my eyes
As I think of her with love, joy, and respect.

Mother’s Triumph

The triumph of my mother’s smile
When she glances at me, her child
Is all I ever need to see
To know that she loves me!


What Is a Mother?

A mother is the one who knows
To where it is, a sad child goes
She is the one who ferrets out
The reason why her child does pout.

A mother is the strongest one
Who loves her daughter or her son.
Not because they’re bad or good,
But just because she knows, she should.

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to you!
Thanks for all you do.
I love you more each day.
That’s the best that I can say!

Mothers

Mothers are full of love and laughter
Filling our hearts forever after.

Mothers are always loving and dreaming
Putting up with us and all of our scheming.

Mothers are sweet smiles and happy faces,
Forgiving us our troublesome disgraces.

Mothers deserve this day of their own
To be queen of our heart and of her home.

You dried my tears,
rocked me gently.
You dabbed my cuts,
and promised me safety,
when I was small.

You held your nerve,
and watched me grow,
let me find my way,
let me blossom.

You guided me through teenage years,
kept time when I stayed out late.
You taught me how to learn from my mistakes.

Now I am a woman,
and a mother too.
I hope for my own children,
I can be a mum as wonderful as you.

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
George Washington

The only way to tell you who Kimberly Printable is and how she got to be where is she today is to take you through a journey from the earliest days of the Internet, which was only available to people who had a modem card in their computer so that they could “dial up” and connect to the web. So let’s get started…The only way to tell you who Kimberly Printable is and how she got to be where is she today is to take you through a journey from the earliest days of the Internet, which was only available to people who had a modem card in their computer so that they could “dial up” and connect to the web. So let’s get started…

 Back when Microsoft was in the Windows 3.1 version (and to establish how long ago that was, we use Windows 7 today), my family got our first computer and I got a freelance job typing up information for a local business that wanted to move their hardcopy to computer-based documents. There were no such things as optical-reader scanners back then and anything moved from hardcopy printouts to computer documents had to be done by hand.

When Windows 95 was launched, I thought working at home would be “easy.” After all, I had a computer and I could log onto the Internet. Like a vast number of other people who had the same idea, I bought into several work at home schemes, all of which sounded “too good to be true.” And, of course, they all were too good to be true. Ultimately, I realized that working at home really meant starting my own business.

I jumped on board the home business train, got one of those first freebie web sites (the kind that had the impossibly long web address), and began to create the first of my many web sites. After an unknown number of trials and errors, plowing through the early transitions of not only Microsoft, but I also had to learn about and adapt to the basic workings of the Internet and the web. About this same time, domain names were becoming affordable. Realizing that the domain name that I chose would be the foundation of my entire at-home business, I settled on “Moms Break” (with the goal of using at-home Moms as my target market).

Moms Break was originally a site that listed other free offers that at-home Moms would find interesting and usable. At the time, this was a great idea because, in those early days of the Internet, most people didn’t know how to find these kinds of offers on their own. At that time, searching the web wasn’t as simple as typing in a couple of relevant words or terms and letting Google do its thing. Yahoo and Excite were the only search engines, and you had to understand how to search for what you wanted to find (does anyone remember Boolean searches?).

After the birth of Google and the rapid changes in other search engines that make them what they are today, an at-home business based on hunting up offers for Moms became obsolete. This was a huge blow to my business plans. Anyone could now jump on “The Google” and find what they needed. I had to dream up a new approach to my Moms Break website…one that would still attract at-home moms.

While I was cleaning out a closet, I discovered all of the supplies I’d used during a stint of preschool teaching. While I looked at those supplies, my thoughts drifted to a free fax-cover fax form that I had just downloaded from the web. That was it! I could turn my experience as a preschool teacher into creating free to print paper-based products that Moms could use for all sorts of things. These types of free documents became known online (which was another term change, instead of saying “being on the Internet”) as “free printables.”

In time I expanded my horizons and added more free printable web sites that would be attractive to other target groups of people. I also diversified the types of free printables that are offered on my web sites, morphing my at-home business as new technologies became available and easily accessible to anyone who has a computer.

Well, that’s my story…and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about my personal journey. Now, I hope you’ll enjoy visiting my free printable web sites!
