Mothers Day

Only now so many years have swiftly tailed away,
I lift my head and rest my gaze on scenes of yesterday.
I realize now, the love you spent was not a cruel blow,
but spent in cherishment, and hope that you would see me grow.
To love a little is to lose. To love a lot is hard.
I know I spent so many years, beleiving I was scarred.
But through your love you freely give,
a chance for me to live.
A newer life, self sacrificed, for in Him I am hid,
from all the pain of former years, my life is freed to give.
And now my son, my cherished one,
my child yet to come,
my gorgeous wife and blissful life,
three gifts given your son.
For you it was, taught me the hope,
that only in Christs love,
would I ever find, fulfilling life,
and a Father, Him above.
