An ode to all
mothers whose labor of love is often unnoticed!
Dear Mother
A miracle was
conceived to you in a moment of time
A child to you
born, precious, a little star to shine!
A task, so
grand and noble appointed just for you
To bring up a
child with fresh wisdom anew
The burst of a
golden dawn covered your heart
The joy of a
mighty mission that would never depart
Though moments
of fear may have crept deep inside
Would there be
dark secrets you would have to hide?
Long weary
nights you lovingly cared when your baby cried
Cleaning,
cooking, washing, and soiled clothes dried
Training,
teaching, and trusting God each day
Praying He
would keep your child in a safe good way
There were
happy years when your child brought smiles of joy
Wondrous family
times with binding moments to enjoy
You laughed,
you loved, you gave, and you cared
There were
dreams so high you thought and dared
Years rolled
ahead, some days may have been tough
The trembling
fears were there, and the rocky roads rough
You learned to
pray like a warrior of the kingdom of light
You learned to
yield to God and never gave up the fight
As you learn to
release your child to the Lord
In Him, you
experience your sweetest reward
For in
surrendering your child to His tender care
There was
nothing to fear because He is always there!
Dear Mothers,
We thank God for your lives
You never give
up in the steamy storms or in strife
Your quest for
your child has wondrous stories untold
Perhaps for
many, only in Heaven will unfold
Your love goes
beyond, trusts, perseveres, and never ends
Bearing,
enduring, restoring, and always ready to mend
Kindness and
calmness in you are abundantly stored
Your love,
unconditional, reveals the heart of God!
Proverbs 31:28: Her children arise up, and call her blessed, her husband also, and he praises her.
