Love is a Mother Figure

A mother figure is more than a friend, she’s there by your side to the very end. * * A mother figure never lets you down Nor ever creases your brow with a frown She'll declare she is proud of all that's you Boosts your ego when you are down and blue. A precious angel who gladly appears Whenever one is sad and close to tears Though she too may have problems of her own To you she would never let it be known. Caring, willing, ready to do her best To break through and put your sorrow to rest With ability to bestow sunshine Lifting up one's mood to become sublime. I've many mother figures, each one dear Sisters, friends, ever faithful, ever near I sing them praises to the Lord above Thanking him for His precious gifts of love. * * *

A wonderful poem for those mothers who exude such love! Very sweet. I too had other women who were like moms to me, and I am ever so grateful to them <3

This is a nice tribute to good mothers. Do count your blessings if you had one. The news today is full of horror stories of kids who don’t have that sadly. You will do well in the contest!

In life, we meet with many mother figures who enrich our lives with love and concern. They needn't be our close relatives. But even strangers can seem mother figures. A beautiful poem dear Beryl.
