A Mother’s Love

It’s a blessed soul

who knows so dear 

a Mother’s  friendship

and unconditional love,

the bounty of her goodness;

her kindness of heart ,

the generosity of  spirit 

she bestows on her child 

To know her joy, hear 

her laughter, to feel her embrace 

when the world seems tough 

To witness her faith in God , 

And her faith in you, to choose wisely

and believe. Even when the road is hard. 

A Mother’s love encourages, uplifts, gives 

wise counsel and is constant. Not demanding,

never belittling. Solid and secure.

 Fortunate are we in the words of St. Augustine 

a Mother’s love doesn’t end at the grave 

*** For my beloved Mother, Lenora Cooney for giving herself  unto me;  Thank you , Mama for making me one of the blessed ones, and for my sons, Gavin and Garrett for the profound joy of making me a Mom
