A MOM'S UNDYING LOVE

Moms are a gift from The Lord

Given to each and every one.

The love and care they give a child

Is God’s work being done.  

The miracle of the mother’s womb

Is a testament to God’s Glory.

From there came God’s many gifts

In story after story.

Through the womb of Sarah 

God brought forth his nation.

And through the Virgin Mary

He gave us Jesus, Lord of creation.

The experience of child birth

Is like no other that we know.

For months inside her womb

A mother feels her baby grow.

The pain that she endures

During her baby’s birth,

Forms a bond between them

That’s immeasurable in it’s worth.

God’s calling for new mothers

Is her baby’s love and care

Through her love and nurturing

God’s presence is always there.

As her baby starts to grow

Right before her eyes,

She is there to teach and love

And comfort when it cries.

They seem to grow up so fast

The first word, then they’re talking.

Next comes that first step they take

And soon after they are walking.

Now they are into everything.

Running here and there.

They start asking all those questions

And God’s wisdom is your prayer.

You give them God’s correction

And discipline as you must.

The value of God’s wisdom

Will increase their love and trust.

Next it’s time to go to school

For the first time on their own.

You pray that they’ll be safe

And feel welcome, not alone. 

You do your best to teach them

And raise them in God’s ways.

You pray that all your efforts

Will last them all their days.

The older they get, the more they learn

About life and reality.

Their opinions and their beliefs

Develop their personality.

First friendships and adventure

Then they want to start dating.

Things are moving so fast

You have a hard time relating.

Now it’s time for them to drive

It’s more control you’re loosing.

You pray that when decisions come

It’s God’s wisdom they’re choosing.

Then the independence comes

And now they know it all.

How did all of your wisdom

So quickly take a fall?

As life’s lessons educate

They start to understand.

Now you are smart again

And their ready for a hand.

As they grow and fall in love

They say it’s time to marry.

Now the thought of loosing them

Is really very scary.

When they are on their own

You pray they have God’s wisdom.

All you can do is love them now

And trust that God is with them.

For the rest of your life to you

Your child will always be,

The child you held and nurtured

And bounced upon your knee.

I am thankful everyday

For the gift from God above.

That special gift from heaven

Of  a mom’s undying love.
