A mother’s love reaches across the miles
and years
It can touch a heart so strong and stretch
across the sea
Her prayers can lift higher and calm the
deepest fears
Uttering still, so tender yet brave
throughout eternity
God grants her voice the bravest song of
cheer
From cradle and after death in the music
of the wind
The same sweet song she sang when she was
here
A craving reminder, our most enduring
friend
We hear her voice like some far beckoning
hope
And smell her perfume in the fragrance of
each flower
So often when the wind is blowing down
some steep slope
We feel her loving arms around us with a
mighty power
When God designed her he placed a heavenly
crown
To shine with splendor and love straight
from above
To prove that she is so worthy of and
heaven bound
What more can we ask for or need than a
mother’s love

ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for your thoughts on my post about my nephew. I appreciate it so much. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you Susie, this says so much about the love of our mothers. I remember when my daughter Angie was placed in my arms...even though I was just 16, I knew it was a love I had never experienced before. But thankfully I had that same wonderful feeling with each of my daughter's births and even my grandchildren. It's that powerful love that God gave women for their families. I feel that the births of my daughters were the greatest gift from God to me. When we love our children, they love us back. Blessings for a happy mother's day to you my friend. Wishing you well. xoxo, Susie
