A Mothers Love

A mother's soft and gentle touch
Her caring, tender hands
Know when her children need her
They seem to understand

They have a language of their own
Communicate so well
Speak softly to her children's hearts
More than mere words can tell

A mother's warm and loving arms
Can soothe a baby's cry
The sweetest song of tenderness
In a mother's lullabye

Her arms know when to hold them close
And drive away their fears
They comfort and protect you
Till problems disappear.

A mother's kind, soft-spoken words
Can be a soothing balm
To smooth the stormy seas of life
And make the waters calm

Her soft voice whispers love to them
Sings to them as they sleep
Of angels that watch over them
Of how they guard and keep

There's nothing like a mother's
Heart
Her love
Her prayers
Her smile
God placed these all within her
To give back to her child
