Mothers Are Special
She carried him in her womb for nine months
Could have wiped him out with some complex chemical
Toxic to his unformed mass, but she didn’t.
She chose rather to partner with God in this creative masterpiece
And nurtured him within the confines of her swollen world.
She cuddled him close to her breasts, time and time again
A tender love giving him comfort
When he was put down on the playground, he ran to her
She put the smile back on his handsome face
And sent him running on his way
When he was sick, she stopped all else
Watching, praying to God that he might live
Her heart’s expectation was this; that someday he will be a man
And the world will see the rare gem that he is.
And when she thought her job was finally done,
Amidst much joy, singing and dancing,
She handed him to his wife on a platter of gold.
And he with a pledge was hers to keep.
God bless Mothers for such unselfish love!
“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.” – Proverbs 31:25-28
