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.

Dedicated to Mother Pearl Yant  Mother's Day 1998

Yes so don't let anything stop you from instilling the Word of God into the life of the beautiful child you are holding in the picture. God Bless. Much Love
