What is a Mother
A mother is someone to shelter and guide us, to love us, whatever we do, With a warm understanding and infinite patience and wonderful gentleness, too.
How often a mother means swift reassurance in soothing our small, childish fears, How tenderly mothers watch over their children and treasure them all through the years!
The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness, for any mistake, big or small, And generous always in helping her family, Whose needs she has placed above all.
A mother can utter a word of compassion and make all our cares fall away, She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter and make life delightful and gay.
A mother possesses incredible wisdom and wonderful insight and skill - In each human heart is that one special corner which only a mother can fill!
