A Mother's Love
To My Son
It's a love like no other - so hard to explain;
Rewarded by moments of joy and of pain;
It's a love that only a mother can know
created by GOD Who loves mothers so.
Its a love that unfolds when a mother gives birth,
A love JESUS had when HE walked on the earth;
As he blessed the sweet children by the touch of HIS hands
A love of a mother only HE understands.
When so gently the children HE held on HIS knee,
As HIS arms cradled babies, it is then we can see
the depth and the richness of each mother's love
born in the heart of the FATHER above.
It's alove that grows stronger with each passing day,
It never gives up though a child far may stray;
It's a love that endures through the good times and hard,
It's a love that is nearest the great love of GOD.
