A Mother's Love

 

 

 

Mother

Author: Sharon Froese

When I was little you, my mother
Had to do everything for me
You fed me, changed me, brushed my hair
And scrubbed the dirt from my knees

I got a little older but I
Still needed you just as much
To help me with my homework
And for advice and such

Then one day I moved away
But I still needed you, mother
For you became a friend to me
And you still loved me like no other

I got married and became a mom
What kind of mother would I be?
I try to follow your example
And love my kids like you loved me

I know I don't always say to you
The words you long to hear
But in your heart still you know,
"I love you, Mother, dear"

Of all the things you've taught me
One thing I'll remember to the end
To have a mother is to be loved
To have a mother is to have a friend

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Mother's Love Is a Haven in the Storms of Life

Author: Helen Steiner Rice

 

 

A MOTHER'S LOVE is like an island
In life's ocean vast and wide,
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the restless, rising tide ...

A MOTHER'S LOVE is like a fortress
And we seek protection there
When the waves of tribulation
Seem to drown us in despair ...

A MOTHER'S LOVE'S a sanctuary
Where our souls can find sweet rest
From the struggle and the tension
Of life's fast and futile quest ...

A MOTHER'S LOVE is like a tower
Rising far above the crowd,
And her smile is like the sunshine
Breaking through a threatening cloud ...

A MOTHER'S LOVE is like a beacon
Burning bright with FAITH and PRAYER,
And through the changing scenes of life
We can find a HAVEN THERE ...

For a MOTHER'S LOVE is fashioned
After God's enduring love,
It is endless and unfailing
Like the love of HIM above ...

For God knew in HIS great wisdom
That HE couldn't be EVERYWHERE
So HE put HIS LITTLE CHILDREN
In a LOVING MOTHER'S CARE.
