God places within a mother's heart
love that knows no end . . .
and paints in golden letters
"FOREVER FAITHFUL FRIEND" ~

Fills her tongue with wisdom
to instruct and gently lead . . .
with tender hands to minister
to her children's unique need ~

Her lips He fills with kisses
fashions hugs within her arms . . .
affection that lasts a lifetime
and many delightful charms ~

The courage of a lion He
implants within her breast . . .
to protect her babes at any cost
she gives her very best ~

Sculpts a lap shaped for sitting
to hold a child just right . . .
adds enough soothing lullabyes
to sing both day and night ~

Crowns her with deep compassion
breathes within her endless Joy . . .
to understand each struggle of
her offspring ~ girl or boy ~

Patience is her middle name
her prayers are bath'd in tears . . .
and every prayer a mother prays
Father in Heaven hears ~

Gossamer wings God craft'd not
yet one day children realize . . .
the precious one whom we call mother
is an ANGEL~IN~DISGUISE !
