A Mothers’ Love
A Mother's love is something that no one can explain,
It’s made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away.
It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems.
It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking.
It is far beyond defining; it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation.
A many splendored miracle man cannot understand,
Just another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.
