My Christian Mother
God bestowed a blessing upon me;
When He chose you as my mother.
For me He chose a Christian woman,
I am glad there was no other.
When I say Christian, that's Christ-like,
I will explain what I am saying,
Sharing and caring you taught us,
Meditating and constantly praying.
There was a difference in you mom,
You set yourself aside;
You placed you hand and life in God's Hand,
And allowed Him to be your guide.
You did well in raising your kids;
As best could be expected.
You made sure that in doing so;
Praising the Lord was never neglected.
You diligently took the time,
To teach us right from wrong.
You possessed a love that was kind;
Understanding, gentle and strong.
A Christian Mother,
That's what you are.
And you will always be;
My shining star.
And I wish you a long and happy life;
A lot less misery and no more strife.
And my God bless every life you touch,
And remember I love you so very, very much.
