You were the center of our universe <br />The mother of us all <br />You gave to us your everything <br />We only need to call <br /> <br />And soon your strength was tested <br />Though you put up such a fight <br />For from a distant spiritual land <br />The angels called you in the night <br /> <br />For someone up in heaven <br />Looked down upon the land <br />And chose mom for her strength <br />To come and give a hand <br /> <br />He knew that her legacy <br />That she had left behind <br />Would withstand the pain and grief <br />Over a period of time <br /> <br />For she had fulfilled his prophesy <br />Spreading love, honor, and hope <br />She instilled in those she left behind <br />The ability to understand and cope<br /><br />Joanne Bailey Baxter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-on-mothers-day/
