Happy Mother's Day!

I never fully appreciated my mother and all mothers, in general, until I became one myself. I never fully understood the depth of love and care that my mother must have for me and whenever I look at my daughter, I am in awe at how much love my mother must feel, or least must have felt at one time, for me.

To all mothers, Happy Mother's Day! A little poem I found online:

A MOTHER'S LOVE

A Mother's love is something that no on can explain,

It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,

It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may

For nothing can destroy it or take that love away . . .

It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or falters 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 it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation . . .

A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand

And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.
