This was written today for a friend of mine that recently lost her mother.
A Mother's Love
While raising children
she did her part
A Mother's Love
comes from the heart
Changing diapers
and cooking too
A Mother's Love
shines through and through
Keeping us safe
teaching right from wrong
A Mother's Love
is oh so strong
As teenagers
we tested her will
A Mother's Love
guided us still
The college years
brought her new trials
A Mother's Love
kept hopeful smiles
Finding love
a new life did begin
A Mother's Love
welcomed them in
Starting a family
gave new appreciation
A Mother's Love
such steadfast dedication
Busy lives
yet never far apart
A Mother's Love
always dear to our heart
Age advances
we come back and embrace
A Mother's Love
wrinkled, yet full of grace
Elderly frail
mother changes her style
A Mother's Love
come sit for a while
Twilight's near
as we hold hands
A Mother's Love
our heart commands
At her last breath
Peace and Comfort come
A Mother's Love
we gain strength from
Feathered wings
surround us with love
A Mother's Love
now comes from above
Grief is short
when we remember when
A Mother's Love
is free to live again
Find comfort
in God's Love and Light
A Mother's Love
still hugs you every night

You do write with love and light. My mother's heart appreciated your verse today!
You brought tears to my eyes again, dear one. How much we need to appreciate our mothers' love - before we can learn to spread it to our own children. And hope we did half as well as our own mothers.
