Her caring, tender hands;
Know when her children need her,
They seem to understand.
They have a language of their own,
Communicate so well;
Speak softly to her children's hearts,
More than mere words can tell.
A Mother's warm and loving arms,
Can soothe a baby's cry;
The sweetest song of tenderness,
In a Mother's lullaby.
Her arms know when to hold them close,
And drive away their fears;
They comfort and protect you,
Till problems disappear.
Her soft voice whispers love to them,
Sings to them as they sleep;
Of angels that watch over them,
Of how they guard and keep.
There's nothing like a Mother's heart,
Her love, her prayers, her smile;
God placed these all within her,
To give back to her child.
For every single seed she sows,
Every prayer she sends above;
Will come back to her multiplied,
Within her children's love.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 1995 Brother (+) Hand in hand through childhood days,
We laughed and played together,
Now heart to heart, we grew to learn,
That a brother is forever.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 2006 Child Of My Heart (+) Although I didn't give you life,
I gave you all my love;
The day that we became family,
Was a gift from the Father above.
He placed in me a parent's love,
For a child who wasn't my own;
Then built a spot within my heart,
A place that you could call home.
No matter where we go in life,
I'll walk with you every mile;
Because of the love God placed in our hearts,
You will always be my child.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 1995 Family Circle (+) In the circle of a family,
There are so many parts;
But each one is more precious,
When they're joined heart to heart.
The father to the mother,
And so the circle begins;
Generation to generation,
In a circle with no end.
There within the family,
Between the husband and wife;
The circle grows much sweeter,
As each child is given life.
Then as those years so quickly pass,
Those children are soon grown;
And they become fathers and mothers,
With little children of their own.
Touched with love and sacrifice,
The circle of family begins;
Generation to generation,
In a circle with no end.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 1995 Mother (+) The words, "I love you Mommy",
From many days before,
Were answered by my Mother's voice,
My child, I love you more.
It took me years to realize,
And many years to see,
That the joy I saw in my Mother's eyes,
Was the love she had for me.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 2006
| Mother's Sweetest Song (+) The first time that she held me, was underneath her heart;
God placed me there to feel her love, right from the very start.
The first time I heard a lullaby, her voice, so soft and warm;
In that haven of peace and slumber, nestled safely in her arms.
It was the sweetest melody, of love that lingers long;
The lullaby she sang to me, was my Mother's sweetest song.
Looking back I wonder, was there a time she wasn't there?
No matter where life led me, I was in my Mother's prayers.
Now winter winds blow softly, cross love that lingers long;
In the beauty of the memory, of my Mother's sweetest song.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 2002 To Dad (+) I want to thank you Dad,
For giving me your love;
For being a reflection,
Of our Father up above.
For being more than just a Dad,
But a hero and a friend;
Someone that I could run to,
On whom I could depend.
You think I don't remember,
What you did through all the years;
How you stood beside me right or wrong,
Through laughter and through tears.
I don't have much to offer you,
In return for all you have done;
Just know somebody loves you,
And I am that someone.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 1995 To Mother (+) A gentle touch, a loving hand,
A smile to light my day;
Wisdom, grace and beauty,
To guide me on my way.
Arms that held me close at night,
To chase away my fears;
A hand outstretched for me to hold,
And dry my childish tears.
God took the best of all he had,
Like a beautiful melody;
For when He created Mothers,
He created you for me.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 2002 To My Sister (+) I'm blessed to call you sister,
I also call you friend;
You've loved me unconditionally,
And stood through thick and thin.
You've shared my joys and sorrows,
My laughter and my tears;
You've been my inspiration,
As we grew up through the years.
When we were little children
We laughed and played together;
Then growing up you stood by me,
Through good and stormy weather.
There's something God has given us,
That's more than family;
He's placed a love for you Sister,
Deep down in the heart of me.
~ Allison Chambers Coxsey 1995
