A Mothers Love Is A Haven In The Storms of Life
A MOTHERS LOVE is like an island in lifes ocean vast and wide, A peaceful, quiet shelter from the restless, rising tide . . .
A MOTHERS LOVE is like a fortress and we seek protection there When the waves of tribulation seem to drown us in despair . .
A MOTHERS LOVES a sanctuary where our souls can find sweet rest From the stuggle and the tension of lifes fast and futile quest . . .
A MOTHERS LOVE is like a tower rising far above the crowd, And her smile is like the sunshine breaking through a threating cloud . . .
A MOTHERS LO VE is like a beacon burning bright with FAITH AND PRA YER, And through the changing scenes of life we can find a HAVEN THERE . . .
For A MOTHERS LOVE is fashioned after Gods enduring love, It is endless and unfailing like the love of HIM above . ..
For God knew in HIS great wisdom that HE couldnt be EVERYWHERE So HE put his little children in a LOVING MOTHERS CARE. ************
