From the Minnesota Mom

to the Norwegian Mom!

So much joy I feel today, I forget about all the pain.

A title I longed to have...she offered to help me gain.

You see, I became a mother in a not so usual way,

At the loving hands of someone else, I celebrate today.

I am now called Mother, because she made it so;

She sacrificed her womb for me, and let my baby grow.

Now cards and flowers are mine, and happy wishes too;

She gave herself unselfishly, and made my dreams come true

She too is a mother, on this very special day

Though no longer in her womb does my baby lay,

But forever in her heart remains a love so strong and pure

And as I enjoy this glorious day, I remember I'm a mom because of her.

Happy Mothers' Day, Hanne!
