A Mother's Covenant

A Mother’s covenant with her creator Spoken in depths of breathless silence Bids her bear and nurture fruits Each with free will and a given purpose Assuring the existence of our race Each comes with a gift to benefit the whole Each a member of God’s body here below His spirit imparted; a blessing, each one is Sent to a world groaning, longing for peace Mothers are special; vessels of His providence Honor for self-sacrifice; honor for their pain A Mother by natural birth or by an adoption Glory in your humble station Teach the basic truths Expose the layers of lies Shed the meaningless disguise Realize the power within your grasp Help make our world a better place. HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY! 5/12/13 ~*~

this is about the very best one I have seen. Partly because it was not so personal that it excluded most mothers other than your own. It covers the whole spectrum of them!!
