[bodytext] => Mother! - I write these lines,- as you well know- For everything I have you did bestow Upon me,- by God's grace you have impressed Fair gifts and talents plentiful and zest For life, - gratuitous, free and generously From your own being, like the fruitful tree Of the strong woman told in Holy Writ, That bloomed, so everyone would benefit. Mother! - there is no need to eulogize! But I will say that you made paradise For us,- with so slim means you did impart So many blessings in your children's heart.- Your warm affection like a gushing spring,- Your strength like the Protector Angel's wing;- Forgetful of yourself, in constant care Of us,- you made your children unaware Of penury, but made us dance and laugh So warm your tenderness, so deep your love! Beyond all bounds your faith, your hope, your love! Gifts unsurpassed in splendor from above!-. Over my cradle you did gently bend, In loving vigil, with caressing hand; And many a lullaby and tune you sang To which you made your babe participant The babe took out a stake, was made a part Of all the music of your glowing heart.- seeping, and sinking in through every pore, It traveled till it reached the inmost core.! How long you prayed through many a fearful night In catastrophe, disaster and war's blight! With deprivation so familiar- Your presence was sweet comfort's twinkling star- Defeating anguish and adversity- And like a lioness you braved the enemy. Your golden voice rang out in fervent song To Him to Whom all praise and song belong;.- Women's and children's gentle Laureate And Champion nonpareil of their estate. Look down now mother dear of mine I pray, This Mother's Day and any other day, Pray God His grace and mercy to bestow On all the struggling mothers here below! Be they committed to His loving care And win His blessing's laurels everywhere. Happy Mothersday! by:Elizabeth Dandy [comments] => 2 [counter] => 154 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Elizabeth_Dandy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )
