Motherhood          8.5.20


Motherhood 

A gift of God

Echoing His heart

Pure love.


A tiny precious bundle

Nestling in our arms

Perfect and fragile

Master Sculptor's art.


Sleepless nights

Up till the wee sma's

Weariness

Like never before.


The pitter patter of feet

Filing our homes

Milestones achieved

Oh how quickly they grow!


Each stage of life

A new learning curve

Opportunities challenges

Test of our nerves.


Each child unique

With talents gifts

Some hidden

Some revealed.

Personalities of their own

Some shy 

Some happy 

in the limelight.


We love them 

discipline

Hurts us

More than them.


Watch them grow

Knowing full well

One day

They'll go.


So much to teach them, 

Where do we start? 

The best thing

Tell them about our Father's heart. 

Guide them to love Him

Reverence His ways

That His love unshakeable

In the worst days.


We're seldom prepared

When calamity strikes

Heartbreaking jaw clenching

Moments of fright.


Our faith is tested

In these difficult times

Cling to the Rock

For strength and peace of mind.


He knows our hearts

He made them this way

To love care 

Fight for our children as we pray.


So we lift up each other

Mothers, all of us

This great task

Our children diverse. 


That we lean on Him

For wisdom for each day

For trust, confidence

That we not sway. 


Looking to Him

To carry us through

Our God our Father, 

With a Mother's heart too!!
