You have labored for many
And birthed more than twenty
Your room has been filled
With daughters a plenty
How you house so many
I do not know
But your great capacity to love
continues to grow.
Taking many under your wing
You give encouragement,
Hope, and wise counseling.
An example of a lady
Grace, class and style
you demonstrate
As our eyes look up to you
Wanting to emulate
the standards you regulate
You are so sweet
I hear you saying
“how are you doing honey?”
And always eyeball contact
and so sincere
You are the real thing,
you really do care.
You Always have such supportive words
that stimulate confidence and belief
that the best is yet to come
so despair is brief
you have touched my heart
with the love of God that
exudes from your smile
and is perceived by the ear
From the declaration of life you share
the words out of your mouth are fresh water
so hear my heart mother
as one of your dear daughters
I speak for all
We love you
You are special, precious and dear
Words can’t say enough
We appreciate all that you do
Behind the scenes
After hours
Every prayer prayed
Every Hug you shower
Yes you do it all
And still have time to take my call
Then you come in here all flown
With a smile
Never a frown on your face
With joy you dance all around
You have made the devil
out of a fool and a clown
Elegant, strong, walking tall,
For you have overcome
Victories won
Your Testimonies as songs
are anthems to our faith
you are a living miracle
staring us in the face
a survivor
a soldier
a winner
a hero
a wife
a mother.
