A Mother's Heart

When God sends down a precious child from heaven up above He also sends a vessel strong to bring it warmth and love The vessel that the good Lord sends is called a Mother’s heart It occupies the highest place at the top of heaven’s chart This vessel holds more valuables than any treasure chest A Mother’s heart holds purest love beneath her tender breast Her heart is tender, soft, and sweet when nurturing her child But if that babe is threatened then that heart is quickly riled Only a Mother’s heart can heal and dry her children’s tears Or hold them tight so late at night to chase away their fears A Mother’s heart will share in all their sorrows, joys, and pain It does these things unselfishly with naught an ounce to gain She cares for their well being with no thought about her own But she will reap a great reward when all her babes are grown She'll hear the words that have a meaning unlike any other When gratefully with all their hearts they say “I love you Mother”
