Features of a Mother

A mother's love is like God's 
love sent from the heavens 
up above                                
A mother's touch let's us 
know that we can overcome 
so much                                  
A mother's hug is like a heat 
blanket that keeps us warm 
on a cold winter day               
A mother's kiss is a kiss that 
will get us through our darkest 
nights                        A 
mother's eyes is from all the 
tears shes shed worrying 
about the path her child's 
heading down                         
All the restless nights 
worrying about her child's 
safely journey home              
A mother's hands is from the 
times she made sure we had 
clothes on our backs and  
food to eat                             
A mother's knees is for the 
times she went upon her 
knees and prayed for our well 
being                               A 
mother's feet is the journey 
she took to get us where 
we're at                                  
Without your prayers we 
would not be here today         
Without your strenght and 
your encouraging words         
We wouldn't have made it 
through this thing called LIFE
