Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful Mommy’s out there, and to the Daddy’s that have been left to be Mom and Dad. You are all amazing.
My husband wrote a beautiful poem for Mother’s Day and I want to share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Happy early Mother’s Day!
A Mother of My Own
By Alton Jordan
I once met a MOTHER,
She was washing laundry and combing her daughter’s hair.
I once met a MOTHER,
She was driving her children to school, while whispering a daily prayer.
I once met a MOTHER,
She was working in the sun all day long.
I once met a MOTHER,
She was knitting a sweater, while composing a song.
I once met a MOTHER,
She was kind, dedicated, committed and built to last.
I once met a MOTHER,
She would do anything for you, all you had to do was ask.
I once met a MOTHER,
She was formed by the Potter’s hands.
Refined like gold and whose womb bore nations more numerous than sand.
I once met a MOTHER,
It was on a very special day.
She took me in her soft, gentle arms and earnestly began to pray:
“Father on this day I surrender to thee,
This precious gift you have given me.
To love and nurture, and hold so close,
I am forever thankful, lest I should boast.
Help me to be the MOTHER that this child so deserves,
Help me to be a MOTHER that will choose her words,
Carefully, so as not to offend,
This precious child to the very end.”
I now have a MOTHER,
Whose love runs so very deep.
As I nestle comfortably into her arms and fall fast asleep.
Carefully, gently, lovingly, she lays me down to rest,
I love my MOTHER; she is truly the very best.
