God Made Mothers Special

 

~God made a mother in a special way

in this poem this I’ll portray~

~He gave her strength from within to give childbirth

a pain only she can bare on this earth~

~And to deal with the many rejections that her child will give

to her over the years she’ll willingly forgive~

~ Strong shoulders to carry the weight of the world

yet gentle enough to comport her little boys and girls~

~Hardness to keep going on when everyone else gives up

and to care for them with no complaints when illness has struck~

~Sensitivity to love them whether they’ve been good or bad

even through the times they’ve made her sad~

And to help the pain of her child’s boo boo to go away

and her teenager through anxieties and fears of every day~

~The knowledge of laughter to make the sadness disappear

and turn it into happiness and cheer~  

~The tears to shed whenever needed in times of crisis

those are her only weakness~

~Finally he reserved a special place in Heaven

for when her time on earth has come to an end~

-Take time to tell your mother you love her today-
