A Mother’s Love

Always there to see you through the good times and hard times,

Mother’s love us just the way we are, flaws and all.

Owing and thanking God for the “Gift of Motherhood.”

Teaching us right from wrong from when we were very young,

Helping us to be sincere in all we say and do.

Easily forgiving us for our wrongs and offering second chances;

Recognizing the inner beauty that God has given us,

Seeing that all our needs are met, great and small.

Loving every part of us more and more each passing day,

Open hearts and open arms to catch us when we fall;

Vigilant twenty-four hours a day.

Everlasting and unconditional.
