A MOTHERS LOVE
A Mothers love is something
that 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 never 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.
Is is far beyond defining,
it defiles all explanation.
And it still remains a secret like
the mysteries or creation;
A many splendoned miracle man
cannot understand.
And another wondrous evidence
of Gods tender guiding hand.
