On Mother’s Day!

One word of yours and I’m assured; One nod of head and things would move; One stare of yours: I’m back to senses; One yell and would I dare speak the same? What magic most mothers possess! One kiss of yours: My pain is gone! One touch by hand: I stop my cry; One smile from you: I’m encouraged; One glimpse can be so meaningful! What prowess mothers truly hold! What love! What care! What pains you take; What toil, what sacrifice! What time you spend for child’s sake! You hear my woes and console me; You feed and ready me to school; You nurse and keep me always clean; What patience, thoughts, your heart afills! Mother of mine, you’re truly great! You taught me how to speak and write; You showed me how life should be lived And the road to Heaven! O Angel of love! May God bless you forever!
