The Love of a Mother

Recently we celebrated Mother’s Day.

As some countries are still in lock-down, not everyone got to spend the day with their loved one, but that does not mean we were not thinking about them! Sending messages, phone and video calls. Although they should be treated like that every day, not just three a year, Mother’s Day, their Birthday and Christmas (for those that celebrate).

She deserved the best every day!

You are there to look after me, make sure I didn’t fall and when I did, you were there to kiss it better. As I grew, you were there to cheer me on from the side lines. Always reassuring me I am capable of anything I set my mind to. You were always my biggest fan. You were my role model, even though we didn’t always see eye to eye, we never stopped caring and loving one another.

What you did for me will never go unnoticed. You gave your all for me, even when you didn’t have anymore to give, you found the strength deep down to go that bit extra. You put others happiness above your own. I may have not noticed it then, but I do realise now, what you went through and I can never repay you for that, I can only continue to give you my all and support you in every way possible.

Laughter and joy, tears and anger, excitement and surprise, we have been through it all and you never left my side. Even when I said things I didn’t mean, it hurt you, more than you showed but you still keep your head high and loved me regardless. If I could take back some of the things I said in the past, I would but I can’t. Knowing you knew I never meant it gives me some solace.

You are strong and you have taught me to be strong, for this you deserve the world.

The Love of a Mother

by Anonymous

A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain

It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away

It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking

It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems

It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation

A many splendour miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

Not forgetting the father's, who play just as an important role.
