This was written today for a friend of mine that recently lost her mother.
A Mother's Love
While raising children
she did her part
A Mother's Love
comes from the heart
Changing diapers
and cooking too
A Mother's Love
shines through and through
Keeping us safe
teaching right from wrong
A Mother's Love
is oh so strong
As teenagers
we tested her will
A Mother's Love
guided us still
The college years
brought her new trials
A Mother's Love
kept hopeful smiles
Finding love
a new life did begin
A Mother's Love
welcomed them in
Starting a family
gave new appreciation
A Mother's Love
such steadfast dedication
Busy lives
yet never far apart
A Mother's Love
always dear to our heart
Age advances
we come back and embrace
A Mother's Love
wrinkled, yet full of grace
Elderly frail
mother changes her style
A Mother's Love
come sit for a while
Twilight's near
as we hold hands
A Mother's Love
our heart commands
At her last breath
Peace and Comfort come
A Mother's Love
we gain strength from
Feathered wings
surround us with love
A Mother's Love
now comes from above
Grief is short
when we remember when
A Mother's Love
is free to live again
Find comfort
in God's Love and Light
A Mother's Love
still hugs you every night
