A Mother's Love

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments,
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something that we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us along life's way,
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

A Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

Mother's Day
