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 !
