As we celebrate Mothering Sunday on Sunday 8 May, let us give thanks for mothers everywhere. For those who gave birth to us and all those who have been like mothers to us. Let us keep in mind also those for whom Mother’s Day will be difficult.
A Mother's Love
There are times when only a mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.
For a mother's heart and a mother's faith
And a mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the angels
And sent from God above.
