Thena's Thoughts

"The Women in Our Lives" by our Design Team

Note: each design team member uses an image editor of choice with our products to create their custom layouts.  See our product overview for software compatibility.

 
A Mother is a hero
 
A mother is a hero
To everyone on earth
For no one but a mother
Can give life by giving birth.
 
A mother nurtures little ones
And teaches through the years
And can bring smiles back to a face
Where once were childish tears.
 
A mother's love grows stronger
As the years come and go
You are my hero, Mother
I just wanted you to know!
 
Thena Smith
