What Is a Mother?

What Is a Mother?

    A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,
    To love us, whatever we do,
    With a warm understanding and infinite patience,
    And wonderful gentleness, too.

    How often a mother means swift reassurance
    In soothing our small, childish fears,
    How tenderly mothers watch over their children
    And treasure them all through the years!

    The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness
    For any mistake, big or small,
    And generous always in helping her family
    Whose needs she has placed above all.

    A mother can utter a word of compassion
    And make all our cares fall away,
    She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter
    And make life delightful and gay.

    A mother possesses incredible wisdom
    And wonderful insight and skill -
    In each human heart is that one special corner
    Which only a mother can fill!

    - Katherine Nelson Davis

    So cherish our mother and enjoy being a mother
