HEART OF A MOTHER

WHAT MOTHERS DO.

We Love

We bring forth

We nurture

We feed

We cloth

We provide

We sacrifice

We still love.

We teach

We support

We encourage

We correct

We forgive

We love again.

We endure

We pray

We bless

We intervene

We struggle

We persevere

We appreciate

We never forsake

When neglected, we bear

We're never discouraged

We never give up

When the road is rough,

We're still there,

We keep loving

When the love is not returned

We still love.

When we are loved in return,

We love more.

When all is well,

We're fulfilled.

We live, we love.

That's what mothers do.

I love my mother,

What about you?
