What is a Mother ?


It  takes a Mother's Love to make a house a home,
A place to be remembered, no matter where you roam.
It takes a Mother's Patience, to bring a child up right,
And her Courage and her Cheerfulness to make a dark day brite.
It takes a Mother's Thoughtfulness to mend the heart's deep "  hurts,"
And her skill and her Endurance to mend the socks and shirts.
It takes a Mother's Kindness to forgive us when we err,

To sympathize in trouble and bow her head in prayer.
It takes a Mother's Wisdom to recognize our needs
and to give us reassurance by her loving words and deeds.
It takes a Mother's Endless Faith, Her Confidence and Trust
To guide us through the pitfalls of  selfishness and lust.
And that is why in all this wirld there could not be another
Who could fulfill God's purpose as completely as a Mother !
