Mothers would be
To all of society you see
He gave us Mary,
The most important mother of all
Who gave birth to a son named Jesus
Who would set all mankind free
You see it was a mother gave birth
To every important man in the Bible
Peter, Philip, Nathaniel and John
Timothy, James, Andrew, and Paul
King Solomon, King David, Jeremiah, and Isaiah
Isaac, Jacob, Esau, Joel, and Obadiah
Gideon, Sampson, Abraham and Lot
Noah, Moses, Samuel, Joshua, Job and Zechariah
Amos, Jonah, Micah and Zephaniah
Enoch, Nahum, Elisha and Elijah
All of these men were great men of God
Yet all of them came from the womb of a woman
No matter how great any man on this earth may have been
Without mothers there would be no one.
Who is a mother?
She is that one we all depend on
The one the whole family leans on
The one who loves completely and unconditionally
Without needing to have a reason
I am so thankful for my mother
For without her where would I be?
Her constant reassurances
During my times of feeling defeated
Her loving nods that let me know
That no matter what may happen
My mistakes didn’t have to be repeated
I can remember so many times
When I wasn’t sure which direction to go
What decision to make
What valuable things I should know
Those were the times my mother was there
Always showing me who I can be
Instead of whom I am now
Always telling me not to accept
Just living day by day just because I can
She always urged me to push harder
Reach farther and think larger
Than my current situation
Because where I was wasn’t where I needed to end up
Where I was didn’t define me as washed up
My mother always told me she loved me
Even when she punished me
Even when I didn’t feel like hearing it she’d lavish me
With her constant statements of love for me
Even during those times when it embarrassed me
In front of my friends
But one day she was laid down to rest
And that’s the day I remember best
The day she went home to be with the Lord
From that day forward I began to realize
The impact she had on my life
The mold she had planted so indelibly in my mind
For the type of woman I’d eventually want to be my wife
You see that’s what mothers are
They are valuable people in our lives
Who guide and direct us through the
Turbulent times
They show us how to strive
For the top and never settle for less.
They are the ones who constantly let us know
That in spite of what we go through
When we put God first we will survive
That’s what my mom taught me
How to think about God first
And not get caught up with thinking about me
For it is through God all things happen
It is through God that our blessings come to be
So if you haven’t thanked your mother lately
For the day she brought you here
And if you haven’t shown gratitude to your mother
For the direction she guided you in life
For dealing with all of the things you did
And still loving you more than any other
So mothers we salute you on this day
For always giving of yourselves to see us through
Mothers we love you completely for all you have done
And for everything you been to us we will always honor you
