To ALL the mothers in the world - the women behind the great men, women, and children - have a fabulous, blessed, lovely MOTHER’S DAY!
I leave you with a heartfelt hug and these poems for moms which I love! 
M-O-T-H-E-R
“M” is for the million things she gave me,
“O” means only that she’s growing old,
“T” is for the tears she shed to save me,
“H” is for her heart of purest gold;
“E” is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
“R” means right, and right she’ll always be,
Put them all together, they spell “MOTHER,”
A word that means the world to me.- Howard Johnson.
To My Mother
Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of “Mother,”
Therefore by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me,
And filled my heart of hearts, where death installed you,
In setting my Virginia’s spirit free.
My mother — my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are the mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
But that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul that its soul-life.- Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
Motherhood
The bravest battle that ever was fought!
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find it not;
‘Twas fought by the mothers of men.Nay not with the cannon of battle-shot,
With a sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or thought
From mouth of wonderful men!
But deep in a walled-up woman’s heart -
Of a woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part -
Lo, there is the battlefield!
No marshalling troops, no bivouac song,
No banner to gleam and wave;
But oh! those battles, they last so long -
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet, faithful still as a bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town -
Fights on and on in her endless wars,
Then silent, unseen, goes down.
Oh, ye with banners and battle-shot,
And soldiers to shout and paise!
I tell you the kingliest victories fought
Were fought in those silent ways.
O spotless woman in a world of shame,
With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came -
The Kingliest warrior born!
- Joaquin Miller (1839-1913)

“Isn’t this just a little high-tech? I thought vampires were more into cobwebs and coffins.”
”You’ve been watching too much TV. They’ve got their claws into everything - politics, finance, real estate. They already own half of downtown.”
———————————————————
“Lycans are allergic to silver. We have to get the bullets out quickly, or they end up dying on us during questioning.”
”What happens to them afterward?”
”We put the bullets back in.”
————————————————————-
“I want to be what you are. See what you see - love what you love.”
”Mina, to walk with me you must die to your breathing life and be reborn to mine.”
”You are my love… and my life… always…”
”Then… I give you life eternal. Everlasting love. The power of the storm. And the beasts of the earth. Walk with me… to be my loving wife… forever.”
—————————————————————-
“Are you okay?”
”Peachy, Kate. The world’s my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a wooden stake in my brother’s heart because he turned into a vampire, even though I don’t believe in vampires. Aside from that unfortunate business, everything’s hunky-dory.”-———————————————-
“I don’t want to be a vampire. I’m a *day* person”
——————————————————————-
“The second way to kill a vampire, Count; three silver bullets through the heart!”
”No, Rosenberg, that is a werewolf “
”A werewolf? Really? Are you sure?”
”No harm done! The man’s all right! This was for a werewolf! No problem! Calm down! Take it easy! I’m a doctor! I know what I’m doing!”
———————————————————————
“I don’t trust you. You’re a vampire. Or is that an offensive term? Should I say ‘undead American’?”
——————————————————————
Louis, Louis, Louis…Stil whining, Louis?! Are you quite finished? I’ve had to listen to that for centuries!
The rest of the quotes you can find on R.G. ALEXANDER’S blog, and I believe she was up to giving you some tips on Googling to find the source of these awesome vampy sayings!
