Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is special It means so many things Many kinds of women Are motherly, it seems And does it have to be A woman every time? Men as well are motherly Raising children too, I find It’s the person who is there When a child cries out at night Nursing them through illness And trying hard to do it right It’s not just giving birth For that is the simple part It’s the caring for the child Right from the very start It’s doing what it takes To nurture and to love To teach right from wrong And about God up above So for those raising children I would truly like to say For every precious one of you Have a special Mother’s Day!
