What is
a
Mother?
It takes
a
Mother's
LOVE to
make a
house a
home,
A place
to be
remembered,
no
matter
where we
roam.
It takes
a
Mother's
PATIENCE
to bring
a child
up
right,
And her
COURAGE
and her
CHEERFULNESS
to make
a dark
day
bright
It takes
a
Mother's
THOUGHTFULNESS
to mend
the
heart's
deep
hurts,
And her
SKILL
and her
ENDURANCE
to mend
little
socks
and
shirts.
It takes
a
Mother's
KINDNESS
to
forgive
us when
we err,
To
sympathize
in
trouble
and bow
her head
in
prayer.
It takes
a
Mother's
WISDOM
to
recognize
our
needs
And to
give us
reassurance
by her
loving
words
and
deeds.
It takes
a
Mother's
ENDLESS
FAITH,
her
CONFIDENCE
and
TRUST
To guide
us
through
the
pitfalls
of
selfishness
and
lust.
And that
is why
in all
the
world
there
could
not be
another
Who
could
fulfill
God's
purpose
as
completely
as a
MOTHER!
