A Mother's Love

Everyday Belongs to the Lord but the Lord has given this day to you. 
He bestows this in remembrance of all
You been through.
From the day you conceive and throughout the years that follow 
God has seen your bouts of depression as you gone into war with sorrow. 
It is enough to say that the price to pay 
is enough to drive a grown man insane.
But let the Lord find you 
and let his words remind you 
that you're pain is never in vain.
For he has put inside you a special kind of strength 
something superhuman that only a woman can carry to great lengths. 
It is the very essence of he who resides above.
It is as strong as an ox and yet can be as gentle as a dove.
However make no mistake  
within the Wake of it's quake
It is enough to bring the devil to his knees by kicking in Hell's gate
So make no mistake and never tempt fate. 
So what is this special strength I revel in and speak so highly of? 
Well let me tell you that the power of God is the only thing  stronger than that of a mother's love.
So children look into your mother's eyes
And realize 
but don't be surprised
That God has given you a guardian who is too ensure that you stay alive and that you thrive. 
I mean do you know what this woman would do for you
she will cry for you 
she will lie for you 
she will do what Jesus would do 
and die for you 
there is no limit 
to how much she'll put in it 
for her love is 100% organic and true 
yeah I'm talking to you 
you ain't got no food but yet she scraped up enough money to buy you a brand new pair of Air Nike shoes.
And that's what I'm trying to make you understand 
that this is all part of God's plan
A preparation 
through a demonstration
To show you a love that can withstand the Relentless tension of separation 
this specific type of love is what defines the very nature of God's salvation, unconditional
So it is here when you become surprise 
that God first showed you his love when you were first born and the very moment you opened your eyes.
So I say again 
my brother
my sister
and even my friend 
look back into your mother's eyes say thank you Lord for this wonderful lady Hallelujah and amen
