The work load’s enormous
Demands never cease
Laundry and dishes
“Play with me Please”
School time approaches
You’re nervous and sad
Cutting the apron strings
“Please take my hand”
Ball games and concerts
Parties at school
Cupcakes and candy
It’s coming too soon.
Busy are mothers
From morning ‘til nite
I pray for endurance,
Wisdom --- insight.
Emotional, physical and
Spiritual needs
A doctor, Dear Abby
A minister please.
No time for mommy
To gather her thoughts
Too busy thinking---
Where’s the homework that’s lost?
High school then college
Worry still---
What are they up to?
Are they seeking God’s will?
Marriage and children
Grandmothers here?
To comfort and hold you
A love that is real!
Mothering starts before
Baby is born
A gift oh so precious
From our wonderful Lord.
Emotions are changing
Pains, hurts and fears.
Different and many
The joys that we feel.
We grow up and leave you
But never our hearts !
The love grows stronger
The love mothers start.
