A Mother's Day Poem - By Wendy

MOTHERHOOD

Although I can't remember, the time I was a babe

and relied on you for every need, for food and love and aid.

I feel your love and endless care, and all the sacrifice

that you must have showered o'er me, from the first day of my life.

I feel it when I gaze into the eyes of my dear children,

and comfort them in sickness or play with them in fun.

I feel it during those sleepless nights, when only a mother's care will do

I feel it when I'm discouraged about those terrible twos.

I feel it after a warm embrace when my child has stubbed her knee,

I feel it in the pride that's there, when she says her ABC's.

Although my children are still so small, they've taught me something great;

I've felt the love you had for me, when your own needs had to wait.

So thank you dear mother, for your worry and prayers, for all the time you spent on me 

that has helped me too, become a mother in Zion for all eternity!!
