This poem was posted on a thread in an egroup that I belong to and I thought it’s a heartwarming, touching journalling quote or poem that you can use:

The Cord (Author Unknown)

We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.

It’s not like the cord
That connects us ’til birth
This cord can’t been seen
By any on Earth.

This cord does it’s work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.

I know that it’s there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.

The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can’t be destroyed
It can’t be denied.

It’s stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.

And though you are gone,
Though you’re not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.

It pulls at my heart
I am bruised…I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.

I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can’t take it away!

Love it!

If you can’t think of a gift to give your mom, you may want to check out one of these artists who made art where a mom and child were the focus:

Mary Cassatt

Pablo Picasso

Albert Edelfelt

Louis Toffoli

Clement Micarelli

The titles of their art? It is the same for each artist – Mother and Child.
