A MOTHER'S LOVE
A Mother's love is something no one can explain, It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away.... It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking And it n~ver fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking.... It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest,
brightest gems, It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanations, And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation.... A many splendored miracle man cannot understand And another wonderous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The family would like to thank everyone for whatever part that you played to make the burden lighter for the family. Special thanks to the ministers and staff at Laurel Baye Healthcare.
