A Mother's Love

Happy Mother's Day to all you celebrating this beautiful holiday. The older I've gotten, the more I LOVE this day. And in honor of this holiday, I found this poem that has a little twist on the day that I thought everyone would love. To all of you Mother's out there - Enjoy!!

This poem to celebrate Mother's Day was written by a mom to her adoptive child. It's just beautiful!

Mother to Child

Conceived in my heart I earnestly prayed but never imagined you'd come so arrayed.

Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, not under my heart, but oh, so deep in it sown.

I knew from the start since the moment we met, when my eyes gazed upon you, destiny was set.

To enter but a short journey as mother and child, with joy and sorrows, memories to be compiled.

A mosaic of beauty with many colors entwined, the fabric so strong, with my Savior combined.

I love you sweet child, and in time you will see, you're much more than chosen but precious to me.

For God planted this yearning in me long ago, to bring Him forth fruit, that together we grow!   

Father, God, we lift up to you all mothers on this special weekend. We ask that you protect them from harm and surround them with the love of their family and friends. May you bless their hearts with a peace and contentment that surpasses all understanding. We ask these things in your precious son's name. Amen.
