Poetry & Prose ~~ "A Mother's Love"

Mom, your inner beauty flows from deep within

Like the sweet fragrance of a delicate rose,

Gracing our lives with your compassion and love,

As you share your wisdom with all you know.

Your laughter and the twinkle in your eyes,

Always produce a smile upon my face.

Your hugs remind me of the warmth of God’s love,

And the tenderness found in His loving embrace.

You constantly give of yourself in so many ways,

And through the years made many sacrifices for me.

You bring to life the desires residing in my heart,

 And believe in me so I can fulfill my destiny.

I appreciate all the wisdom and insights that you have,

And I thank you for the support you have shown.

You taught me many lessons by your example,

By putting everyone else's needs before your own.

Through the storms of life and upon the raging seas,

You spoke words of faith and hope calming all my fears.

Even when the prickly thorns appeared at my side,

The healing touch of your hand wiped away all my tears.

You have faced the challenges that came your way,

With courage and a never give up attitude.

You taught me to be grateful for all the blessings,

Giving praise to the Lord with heartfelt gratitude.

I cannot adequately express the love I have for you,

As simple words of thank you are not nearly enough.

I pray God's blessings and favor be upon you,

Please never doubt you will always have my love.

Poetry & Prose ~~ "True Beauty"

"True Beauty"

Does not matter the race, color or creed,

Or the current fad, latest trend or fashion design,

True beauty can only be seen in those

Whose heart is genuine, loving and kind.

You can see it in the twinkle in someone’s eyes,

And in a smile that comes from the heart.

You can hear it in softly spoken words,

Sharing the mercy of God, His hope to impart.

You can feel it in the gentle touch of a helping hand,

And hear it in a child’s laughter as they play.

You can experience it in hugs freely given,

And see it in the face of a new born babe.

You can see it in hands that are lifted high in praise,

While tears are streaming down another’s face.

You can hear it in a new song being sung,

As one experiences a special touch of amazing grace.

It can be felt and seen in the eyes of those who

Face life’s storms with strength, courage and peace,

Knowing that their trust and hope is in God alone,

And He is with them in their time of need.

It is when we look beyond the outward appearance,

And look into the heart of those we meet,

That we will experience the depth of God’s love for us,

And share it with others as it was meant to be.

As we learn to see others through the eyes of love,

And look at things from God’s point of view,

We will be filled with His compassion for all,

And see His beauty that is kind, loving and true.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time

and He has put eternity in their hearts……...” 

Ecclesiastes 3: 11
