God Gave us Mothers

I wanted to share my love to all the mothers around me who have taught me and loved me and have guided me in my life.  I love to write poetry, although I don't do it enough.  I decided to write a poem about Mothers.  Mothers come in all shapes and sizes.  There are the Mothers that give us life, there are other Mothers that teach us along our way.  I believe that we do not have to literally bare children to be mothers, but rather those who teach and guide and love us along our path are all Mothers in their own way!  So here is to all the mothers in my life, my Grandmothers, my Mother and Mother-in-law, my sisters and sisters-in-law, my aunts, my friends, my teachers and all the other women who have touched my life!

God Gave us Mothers

By Stina Myers

God sent us down

Down to this earth alone

Alone to find our way back

Back to Him once we’ve grown.

No, no we’ve not been sent

Sent alone, without someone

Someone was given to help

Help us through what we’ve begun.

God gave us someone to comfort

Comfort us when we’re afraid

Afraid of failure or pain or monsters

Monsters within our minds we’ve made

He gave us someone to catch

Catch us when we fall

Fall to the ground or farther

Farther, farther, we feel so small

He gave us someone to teach

Teach us what to do

Do when life gets tough and hard

Hard, but we’ll make it through

He gave us someone full of love

Love that’s unconditionally there.

There for us no matter what

Whatever may happen, Mother is there!

God gave us Mothers to help us glimpse

Glimpse God’s beautiful love

Love that’s unconditionally there

There for us, sent from above.

Because God loves us so much

Much more than we’ll ever know,

Know this, He gave us mothers

Mothers alight with Heaven’s glow.

The mothers from my family:  Annelise, Jolene, Lexia, Karissa and Me

The mothers from Chris' family:  Lara, Kimberly, Jan, Brittny, Gaylynne
