Mothers
are special people.
The scriptures tell us we are to honor our Mother and Father.
Who is the mother of all ?
Eve.
Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Genesis
3;20
The
man named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all the
living.
A
mother is a parent that watches over and cares for her children. Just as there
are mothers in the human world there are mothers in the animal kingdom that
watch over and protect their offspring.
A
mother worries and cares for her children.
A
mother is The woman who loves you unconditionally from birth, the one who puts
her children before herself and the one who you can always count on.
The
meaning of being a mother is virtually endless. A mother is a protector,
disciplinarian and friend. A mother is a selfless, loving human who must
sacrifice many of her wants and needs for the wants and needs her children.
Even
in the animal kingdom a mothers love is beautiful, she watches over and
protects her offspring.
Mothers
have unconditional love for their children.
What
is unconditional love?
Love
that is true love like God loves us. Unconditional love is loving someone the
way they are no matter what, loving there bad points and good points. Loving someone
no matter what they might do wrong or if they attack us.
God
has unconditional love for us.
According
to the Scriptures we are to have unconditional love for others.
What
does that mean?
Does
that mean we only love others who are nice to us?
Do
we hold a grudge or hate someone that is not nice to us?

Corinthians 13;4-8
4 Love is patient, love is
kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. 5 It
is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. 6 It
is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears
all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. But if there
are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease;
if there is knowledge, it will be set aside.
Matthew

The Greatest and
First Commandment
37 Jesus said to him, “‘Love
the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your
mind.’ 38 This is the FIRST and greatest
commandment. 39 The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as
yourself.’ 40 All the law and the prophets depend on these two
commandments.”

I'm
writing this poem for you, mom
because
I want this poem to be,
my
own special way of showing you
how
much you mean to me.
I
have so much to say
and
I don't think this poem will do,
B
B.B. B.B. b. but each word in between these lines
comes
straight from my heart for you.
I
know I haven't been a perfect son,
but
you've taken things in stride,
and
no matter how many problems I've had
you've
always been by my side.
I
could talk to you about whatever I felt,
because
I knew that you'd understand,
all
that you asked from me in return
was
to stand up and be a man.
If I
asked you for some advice
you
never have told me no,
and
if I made a dumb mistake
you've
never said I told you so!
You've
always treated me real special
and
sometimes I don't understand why.
But
when I think about how I've hurt you
it
makes me want to cry.
This
is an apology for the mistakes I've made
and
the conflicts that we've had,
for
all the times I've hurt you
and
for all the times I've made you mad.
I
wrote this especially for you mom,
this
is my cry out to you.
To
let you know how sorry I am
and
how much I really love.

Her
hands held me gently from the day I took my first breath.
Her
hands helped to guide me as I took my first step.
Her
hands held me close when the tears would start to fall.
Her
hands were quick to show me that she would take care of it all.
Her
hands were there to brush my hair, or straighten a wayward bow.
Her
hands were often there to comfort the hurts that didn't always show.
Her
hands helped hold the stars in place, and encouraged me to reach.
Her
hands would clap and cheer and praise when I captured them at length.
Her
hands would also push me, though not down or in harm's way.
Her
hands would punctuate the words, just do what I say.
Her
hands sometimes had to discipline, to help bend this young tree.
Her
hands would shape and mold me into all she knew I could be.
Her
hands are now twisting with age and years of work,
Her
hand now needs my gentle touch to rub away the hurt.
Her
hands are more beautiful than anything can be.
Her
hands are the reason I am me.

A
mother's love is a wonderful love packaged from heaven with special care.
A
mother's love is like no other love in which you can compare.
A
mother's love is purified by Angels and flows directly from her soul.
A
mother's love is justified by God and by his hands he created the mold.
This
mold that was shaped and fashioned by God has endured the test of time.
This
mold that was taped and recorded by women rang out like a heavenly chime.
A
mother's love is unconditional, and from her heart this can be told.
A
mother's love is nutritional; it is the fruit that feeds our soul.
A
mother's love 'IS' true love, and from her heart she cannot lie.
A
mother's love is eternal, the kind that wont' ever die.
A mother's
love is the tie that binds, and her bond can never be broken.
A
mother's love is branded in our hearts, even when her words aren’t spoken....

My
mother is my lifeline, she is my complete savior,
She
does everything she can for me, and for that I praise her,
She
went without when I was younger so I could have nice stuff,
She
worked herself to the bone, but never did she give up.
My
mother is my lifeline, she is truly my best friend,
she
help me through the good and bad, she stayed there till the end,
she
pick me up when I was down and wiped the tears away,
she
will be there when I need her every night and everyday.
My
mother is my lifeline, she's completely a shining star,
she
has never made me feel alone, no distance is too far,
she'll
travel to the moon and back, if I ask her to.
My
mother is my lifeline, this poem I wrote for you.

Thank
you...
For
standing by me through thick and thin
For
not giving up on me when I didn't win
For
your patience when I kept pushing you away
For
caring when I said I didn't need you anyway
I am
grateful knowing...
I
can count on your strength
Ask
for your support, and know you'll go to any length
When
I lose my way
You
help me get back on track
When
in pain
Your
comfort soothes and brings me back
I am
lucky because...
When
I was sad you gave me faith and hope
When
I was confused you taught me how to cope
When
I felt I couldn't go on
You
carried me long miles
When
I didn't believe
You
restored my smiles
Mom,
thank you
For
your guidance and the faith you've shown
For
giving me a safe place where I have grown
For showing
me how to strive
Because
of your love
I
will survive.
A Mom is a Mom
A
Mom is always there for you,
she
always has time for you,
she
always loves you no matter what.
Her
love is beautiful and unselfish,
a
Mothers love is about compassion and virtue,
her
love is about empathy and sympathy,
She
worries about you,
she
wonders where you are and what your doing,
a
Mom is a Mom.
A
Mom will stand by you no matter what,
a
Mom puts you ahead of herself,
ahead
of her needs,
many
people love others with conditional love
but
Moms love their children unconditionally,
It’s
called unconditional love, it’s true love,
It’s
beautiful, ideal, and essential love,
it’s
the same kind of love God has for us....
