Mothers

Mothers come in all shapes and sizes.
Some are young, some are old.
Some have gray hair, some have gold.
Yet, their hearts beat as one.

No challenge so great, for this giant among women,
Yet, she is only five feet tall.
Her love is woven into the fabric of life.
She fills many roles -- doctor, nurse, lawyer,
judge and jury, chef, housekeeper and wife.

Her prayers are continually before the Lord,
Seeking His wisdom for her family.
She went home yesterday, to be with Jesus.
In my heart lives the love of my mother.
