[General Conference quote]

[for mothers everywhere]

I am NOT a poet by any means. Not even good with words usually. But one day this poem just "came".

With love from me to all the mothers everywhere.

I wrote a poem! Seriously? Me? One day it just came. I'm sure it needs more work but I thought I'd share it here.

Motherhood

My eyes are tired

From lack of sleep.

Some nights are long,

Worries run deep.

My hands are tired,

They've done so much.

Lives have been blessed

By a motherly touch.

My mind is tired,

So much to do.

I reach and reach

These little ones to teach.

A baby, a toddler,

Now in school...

The years go by fast.

Oh how to make them last?

Life can be hard,

There are many tears.

But the Spirit conquers

All my fears.

In God I'll trust

When life gets rough.

I'll do my best.

It is enough.

My God I'll praise,

His plan is great.

My mother's role

I'll celebrate.

My heart is full.

My joy is deep.

These precious memories

I'll always keep.
