Love of Mother

Mother’s love … beauty of great excellence Virtuous midst legacy’s prevalence The best of human’s care-superlative Expressing sublime kind heart’s directive. Mom’s warm, sweet caress --- graciously tender Soothes child, whether victim or offender… Her embrace, ensuring hugs’ approval Turns failures into triumph-upheaval. Mama’s voice, gentle with truth’s assertion Calls for guilt-admission and confession Smile from her lips showcases bliss-delight Glowing along blessed serenity’s light. Mother’s love: wondrous treasure to cherish God's good gift*...as shared... does greatly flourish. *James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
