It takes a Motherâs Love
to make a house a home,
A place to be remembered,
no matter where we roam.
It takes a Motherâs Patience,
to bring a child up right,
And her Courage and her Cheerfulness
to make a dark day bright.
It takes a Motherâs Thoughtfulness
to mend the heartâs deep âhurts,â
And her Skill and her Endurance
to mend little socks and shirts.
It takes a Motherâs Kindness
to forgive us when we err,
To sympathize in trouble
and bow her head in prayer.
It takes a Motherâs Wisdom
to recognize our needs
And to give us reassurance
by her loving words and deeds.
It takes a Motherâs Endless Faith,
her Confidence and Trust
To guide us through the pitfalls
of selfishness and lust.
And that is why in all this world
there could not be another
Who could fulfill Godâs purpose
as completely as a MOTHER!
