Happy Mother’s Day!GOD’S GIFT

by Teresita Pérez

Noble beautyLight of the sunFaith that worksTime to have fun

Prolonged applauseStanding ovationNest for the soul

Laughter and elationMelody of peace

Trophy and awardBanner of love

Jesus at the doorDiamonds and gold

Sweet dreams and restPorcelain and rosePearls, ivory chest

Always thereSky, stars and moon

Mercy in personA pleasing tune

Heaven’s messengerThe home’s centerVoice that soothes

Example and mentor

Precious momentsMiracle divine

Poetry and proseRhythm and rhymeA hidden treasureA salve for healing

Ray of hopeReadily forgiving

Friend for lifeWarmth and power

Sentinel and guardianDefending tower

Those fine things of lifeDefined my MotherAnd many a time

She’d also been fatherGod gifts the bestAngelic her gaze

Safely in her armsI basked in her grace

We’ll meet in the KingdomLord Jesus, return

To hug her and kiss herMy grateful heart yearns
