Poems For My Mother

A MOTHER

A mother's hands are gentle,

as she wipes away our tears; 

a mother's arms bring comfort

as she helps us face our fears. 

a mother's heart is loving -

a true reflection of the
peace found in our Savior

and His everlasting love.

A MOTHER'S LOVE

Mother of mine, light of my soul, 

ever inspiring me to higher goal -

You who are so dear to me, 

when I look at you, what do I see?

I see a woman, yes, but more, by far, 

sunshine and moonlight and a star.

I see human feelings: joy, pain and fear, 

a gentle smile and a hidden tear.

I see strength, too and the courage to be meek; 

a helping hand to those who are weak;

a kindly word a spring shower, 

the song of a bird and a dewy flower.

I see a soul shining there

that can only be true and fair;

The soft music of a dear old hymn, 

a heart full of love blessed by Him.

I see sacrifices made for me,
and dreams imprisoned that mine might be free;

A mother whose motto o'er life's stormy sea is 

"Jesus, Savior, pilot me."
