From Conception to Birth
She proves her worth
Through the discomfort and pain
Suffering not in vain
Through changes she will persevere
That soon she may hear
The cry of her child’s heart
From which she will not part
To nurture and to love
As an Angel from above
Through trials and through pain
That someday she may gain
A smile from her child’s face
An “I love you” full of grace
A love I can’t comprehend
This love without an end
For my heart is not the same
In this there is no shame
A Mother’s love, so vast
A love that lasts and lasts
A soothing word to ease the hurt
A gentle hand to ease the pain
A shower of love
Like a soft Spring rain
When “no” is the answer
It is not hard but firm
And given in love
That her child may learn
A trial they are
The teen years that follow
Some may even say
A bitter pill to swallow
Argue, teens do
What’s right and what’s wrong
But her love is patient
Her heart remains strong
At the wedding she cries
Mixing laughter with tears
The end of a cycle
And some of her fears
Concerned she will be
Until the end of her days
The love for her child
She takes to the grave
And when that day comes
God smiles upon her
For her work is done
Rest in his arms and smile down on us
With the love of a mother
Which none other surpasses
Happy Mother's Day
John Pope May 5, 2011
