In a Mother's Hand
In a Mother’s hand
You will find patience
Perseverance and dedication
The ability to look past imperfection
In a Mother’s hand
You will find courage
Strength and understanding
An acceptance of responsibility
In a Mother’s hand
You will find discipline
Advice and encouragement
A need to provide guidance
In a Mother’s hand
You will find love
Compassion and generosity
A place of protection
In a Mother’s hand
You will find pride
Honor and integrity
A governess of principles
In a Mother’s hand
You will find a reflection
Of all her hopes and dreams
And the sacrifices she made
In a Mother’s hand
You will find the hand of a child
Naive to the worth of
A Mother’s hand
Until
A child’s hand is within their own
