DEAR MOTHERS

A miracle was conceived to you
In a moment of time
A child to you born
Precious, a little star to shine!
A task, so grand and noble
Appointed just for you
To bring up a child
With fresh wisdom anew

The burst of a golden dawn
Covered your heart
The joy of a mighty mission
That would never depart
Though moments of fear
May have crept deep inside
Would there be dark secrets
You would have to hide?

Long weary nights you lovingly cared
When your baby cried
Cleaning, cooking, washing
And soiled clothes dried
Training, teaching

There were years when your child
Brought smiles of joy
Wondrous family times
With binding moments to enjoy
You laughed, you loved
You gave, and you cared
There were dreams so high
You thought and dared

Years rolled ahead
Some days may have been tough
The trembling fears were there
And the rocky roads rough
You learned to pray
Like a warrior of the kingdom of light
You learned to trust in God
And never gave up the fight

Dear Mothers
We thank God for your lives
You never give up
In steamy storms or rocky boats
Your quest for your child
Has wondrous stories untold
Perhaps for many
Only in Heaven will unfold

Your love goes beyond
Trusts, perseveres, and never ends
Bearing, enduring, restoring
And always ready to mend
Kindness and calmness
In you are abundantly stored
Your love, unconditional
Reveals the Agape heart of God!

Proverbs 31:28-30 – Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
