A mother's heart

Mother’s Day flowers are in floral shops everywhere,

To be given to all mothers to show them love and care.

They may be in vases or gathered in a bunch.

Some children will give as they take their mamas to lunch.

The day is so special, for it commemorates a mother,

The one who held you in her arms, loving like no other.

A mother’s love goes on and on …

It’s a forever thing — an eternal bond.

A mother will go through thick and thin,

For her children she’s nestled in her heart within.

A mother will put herself last,

Without a thought of it being a task.

A mother’s love is unconditional,

Loving through hurt and crying dismal.

God gave mothers a special protective place,

To carry their babies in a perfectly made space.

The bonding that happens is so surreal,

God allows for women to literally feel.

A mother should be honored for her values of life,

Loving from the cradle to adulthood without a price.

Her children’s well-being is always on her mind.

She thinks of her children as one-of-a-kind.

Praying for her children is just as natural as can be,

Because a mother’s love is genuine and given freely.

A mother will always carry her precious children’s hearts with her forever,

And that is how far the distance between a mother and her children will be — never.

“Happy Mother’s Day in heaven, Mom,” and to all mothers in heaven and still here.
