Notes About The Poem

A mother's love for her children is a gift from God and
it will last all of our lives and spill over into eternity!
God bless.

 

A Mother's Love

A Mother's Love

A mothers love bears many things
and will stand the test of time, 
she watches over her child with joy
which fills her heart with love and peace sublime.

A mothers love it seems is endless
no matter what there may be, 
and she chooses to direct her surpassing love
between my brothers, sisters and me.

The many nights my fevered brow
would rob her of her sleep, 
yet with care and gentleness
my safety she would keep.

I want you to know, my dear mother
that He knew to choose you for me, 
and all of the mothers that there are in the world
you are the best one for me that you could be.
