One word of yours and I’m assured; <br />One nod of head and things would move; <br />One stare of yours: I’m back to senses; <br />One yell and would I dare speak the same? <br />What magic most mothers possess! <br /> <br />One kiss of yours: My pain is gone! <br />One touch by hand: I stop my cry; <br />One smile from you: I’m encouraged; <br />One glimpse can be so meaningful! <br />What prowess mothers truly hold! <br /> <br />What love! What care! <br />What pains you take; <br />What toil, what sacrifice! <br />What time you spend <br /> for child’s sake! <br /> <br />You hear my woes and console me; <br />You feed and ready me to school; <br />You nurse and keep me always clean; <br />What patience, thoughts, <br /> your heart afills! <br /> <br />Mother of mine, you’re truly great! <br />You taught me how to speak and write; <br />You showed me how life should be lived <br />And the road to Heaven! <br />O Angel of love! <br />May God bless you <br />forever!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-mother-s-day/
