~A Mother's Love~

A mother's love is something
that no one can explain..
It is made of deep devotion,
and of sacrifice and pain.

It is endless and unselfish,
enduring come what may,
For nothing can destroy it
or take the love away.

It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters.
even though the heart is breaking.

It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
it glows with all the beauty of the rarest,
brightest gems.

It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation.

A many-splendored miracle
man cannot understand,
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender, building hand.
