May 14th, 2023When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son,"
John 19:25
Our Moms
God chose my dad to plant the seed, / Then He asked my mom to carry me.
I was a burden she held inside, / But the glow on her face said she didn’t mind.
When pain screamed out deep within. / Milly was there, her nurse and friend,
Tenderly she dabbed Mom’s brow, / ’til my tiny head came peeking through, /And Mom’s glow returned to her somehow.
Thus, Mom’s first Mothers’ Day began, / with a fresh new life in her hands.
She nurtured and cared to make me strong, / ‘til years had passed another child was born.
The mother of two she became, / Yet she nurtured us both just the same.
We remember our moms on Mothers’ Day, / God’s gift to us his special way.
He made them to care and nurture a child, / strong enough to protect from the wild.
He made them tender so their touch is soft, / still tough enough to be the boss. /
Wise enough to help us grow, / Then courage enough to let us go.
Yes, God made moms special you see. / What made mine special?
With God’s help, she made me me.
You are the light of the world,
