Mother’s Day
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day again.
Once a year we honor them.
My mother is no longer around.
She stepped into tomorrow, I found.
It is an easier way to look at death.
Thank God, her memory hasn’t faded yet.
For all with mothers still alive.
Tomorrow, her special day will arrive.
Treat her to a special meal or outing.
Maybe flowers or candy. No pouting.
Tell her you love her because you do.
Without her, you wouldn’t be you.
Being a mother is a very tough job.
God didn’t want this to be odd.
He made a woman ready to do the job.
It is a job that really reflects God.
Not all mothers are loved by their own.
Often, it is not her fault, it is shown.
The cases where a mother has fallen short,
there are extenuating circumstances to sort.
Most of us love our mothers with good reason.
To say we don’t would fall just short of treason.
Our mothers gave their lives to raise us right.
A mother’s love for their offspring is no respite.
So do your best to make her proud.
Make your love stand out in the crowd.
God would do no less for me & you.
Your mother is special. She loves you too.
