Mothers…
The soul creation of GOD.
Man’s companion in life.
Bearer of his children.
Faithfulness as his wife.
A comforter to the souls
Of men and young children.
As Mary is given to Jesus,
So is His will now done.

The pure love and easing comfort,
A woman with a smile.
When a young man’s at war,
She’s with him across the miles.
Stand up, be glad, and rejoice.
Give respect to your mother.
A woman gave birth to you,
So that she may love another.

Embraced by a woman’s power
When you are insecure,
It has to be a mother
When you find you feel so sure.
GOD bless the Lord for love
And giving it through a mother.
Is far better than a friend
Or any betraying lover.
