My Journey to God

A Mother’s Love to Behold

God’s benevolent love is like no other to behold
His unconditional love that really has no equal
Except a mother’s love of family accepted as a role
God puts his great love into mothers’ souls ever regal.

God’s immense love never falls nor does it ever falter
A mother’s love is similar and full of sacrifice and pain
A mother’s love is forgiving and much like living water
A mother’s love is something that no one can ever explain.

Nothing can destroy a mother’s love nor take it away
Only God’s love and of His Son can match a mother’s love
A mother’s love is endless and unselfish each and every day
It is a mystery of creation that is God’s gift from above.

On this day we pay homage to all mothers who endure every day
They are wondrous evidence of God’s benevolent guiding hand
In imitation of His only begotten son they never let us lose our way
Mothers are God’s gift of life though some can scarcely understand.
