"a Mother's Love"

The way she held you when you were born thats a mothers love.

When she rocked you when you couldn't sleep thats a mothers love.

The time she kissed a boo-boo to make it feel better thats a mothers love.

When she done your homework so you could get a good grade thats a mothers love.

When she gave you pearl earrings that she wore when she married your dad thats a 
                                mothers love.
As she cried when her first grandaughter came into the world thats a mothers love.

When she left this world she left wonderful memories thats a mothers love.

Everything beautiful comes from the Lord above especially the need for a mothers love.
