CELEBRATING MOTHER'S LOVE 

ON MOTHER'S DAY

MOTHER'S LOVE 
BY HELEN STEINER RICE

A mother's love is something that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may.
For no one can destroy it or take that love away...

It is patient and forging, when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falter even though the heart is breaking...

It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems...

It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation,
And still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation...

A many splendored miracles, man cannot understand
Another evidence of God's tender hand.


MOTHER'S LOVE

"There are times when ONLY a mother's love 

can understand our tears, 
can soothe our disappointments

and calm our fears.

There are times when ONLY a mother's love

can share the joy we feel,

when something we dreamt about 
quite  suddenly is real.

There are times when ONLY a mother's faith 

can help us on life's way and inspire in us confidence

we need from day to day.

For a mother's heart and mother's faith

and a mother's steadfast love 

were fashioned by the angels and send from God above."

BLESSED MOTHER'S DAY!
