Today is Mother's Day and my husbands birthday. Every seven years we share these special days together.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
A mother's love is something...
that no on 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 splendoured miracle
man
cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender
guiding hand.
-Helen Steiner Rice
