Mother's Day Never Ends
How can fathers fully fathom Deepest depths of mother love Only God in all His wisdom Love's Great Architect above
Understands that inner bonding Through nine months preceding birth Can't be severed by swift cutting Unseen cords criss-cross vast earth
Linking children with their mother Over miles that intervene Near or far from one another Nothing really comes between
Mother's arms life's softest cradle Warming milk with mirrored smile Long lost mem'ries oft enable Feelings to suffuse awhile
Nothing alters her affection Though some deem her offspring strange She allows for imperfection When life's times and seasons change
Sacrifice is never too great Work for her has no known end Children's slave and husband's helpmate Others too on her depend
Mother's day is never ending Always one more thing to do Clothes or sometimes hearts need mending Making things as good as new
Loving deeds are all recorded Children rise to call you blessed By God's grace you'll be rewarded Darling you're the very best

About the Poet
Born in Anacortes WA USA on 11/24/1944.
Raised mostly in Nyasaland(now Malawi) by missionary parents. Married to Carol, an Australian, who is the mother of our four children. After Seattle Pacific University and graduate studies at Princeton Theological Seminary and marriage, spent over two decades in missionary work mostly in Zimbabwe. Currently in Anacortes, but for 12 years did a regular program on www.swradioafrica.com where I sometimes shared poetry which I have been writing, off and on, since 1962. God's faithfulness is from everlasting to everlasting.
