We Celebrate Mother

Mothers are a precious gift
Sent to us from up above.
They nurture us, take care of us,
And give us all their love!
They feed us and they teach us.
In us they do delight.
They rock us, they sing to us,
They tuck us in at night.
Supporting all that we do
And praying for us each day,
They always put us first and
They help us find our way.
No matter how I mess up
She always will be there,
Her love unconditional,
For me she will always care.
God made my wonderful mother,
An angel so sweet to behold.
He made her smile of sunshine,
And He molded her heart of gold.
