Mothers

Somewhere I read the line "God couldn't be everywhere, so he created Mothers". This is very true in the since that mothers are angelic caretakers here on earth. Don't get me wrong. I love my Daddy (he passed away last July). He was a strong man and provided for my Momma and me and loved us. It's not the same as a Mother, though. While Father's are out working to make sure their families have everything and don't go without, Mother's are there at home.

When a child cries, Momma is there. When a child draws a first picture, Momma is there praising as if it were the Mona Lisa. When a child scrapes a knee, it's a kiss and a band aid. When you fall in love the first time, Mommas are there to talk to. When you breakup the first time, they hold you while you cry.

Then, you grow up, get married and have kids of your own and Momma is there. She's there with advice and love while we muddle through the raising of our own children. And, oddly enough, still there with us during good times and difficult times. Always loving and understanding.

My mother is my strength everyday. She has endured life and makes sure everyday that I am still enduring and strong. I thank God for allowing me to be her child each and everyday.

A mother's love is sunshine in the morning

And starshine in the night

A mother's love is hope everday

Along life's pathway

A mother's love keeps calling to your heart

Whether you're near or apart

A mother's love is there when you roam

But most of all a mother's love will always be home.
