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 a 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 if full of forgiveness

For any mistake, big or small,

And generous 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!
