What is a Mother?

A mother’s a woman

who gave birth to a child

and ideally she’s one

who is meek and is mild.

 

She nurtures her children

And she puts them to bed

She feeds them their spinach

Making sure that they’re fed

 

Making sure that they’re safe

Keeps them under her care

Teaches them what they need

So that sin they not dare

 

Reads to them from The Word

Prays with them day by day

Gives them plenty of hugs

So that they will not stray

 

For she loves them, tis true

Wants the best for their lives

Cares a lot what they do

That they take no nosedives

 

She encourages them

Lets them know they are loved

But not only by her

But by God from above

 

She spends time with them now

Reading books, playing games

Taking them to the park

Singing songs, that’s her aim

 

She converses with them

Hearing what they would say

They’re important to her

Always now, and always

*If you did not have a mother or a father like this, but you are now a mother or a father, you can be to your children what your mother or your father was not. For there are no perfect parents, and we have all made mistakes, but we can learn from their mistakes and ours, and we can now be the kind of parents and grandparents that we ought to be.
