A MOTHER'S LOVE

A mother's love is steady, enduring, strong and true;
She always loves her children, no matter what they do.
These little souls are given into her special care
To instruct, correct and cherish, to lift them up in prayer.

With loving heart and gentle hands this small life she will mold,
She will cherish and treasure more than silver or gold.
A mother needs great patience to bring a child up right
And a caring cheerfulness to make each day more bright.

It takes a special wisdom to know what must be done
To instill the best virtues in a daughter or a son.
A mother's love is endless, unselfish and forgiving;
Her children sometimes bring her pain but also joy in living.

A mother is the one to whom God entrusts the keeping
Of these special little ones, when awake and when they're sleeping.
The tender, sweet devotion does not come from any other
But from God when he gives a child the love of a mother.
