Mother's Beacon

First time you meet 

Five fingers twined

Around your one

Moment divine.

Who knew one could

Love one so much, 

Worth more than gold

One single touch.

The days go by

You watch her walk

She starts to laugh

And sing and talk.

The sweetness in

Those precious times

Fill your heart with 

Joy sublime.

You give your best 

To be the one

To help her find 

God's chosen son.

The years fly by

The girl so small

Is now getting

Rather tall.

Her broken hearts

Become yours too.

You must be strong

To help her through.

All dressed in white

You see her go

But not without

The things you know.

A mothers love

So strong and bright

A beacon of 

The purest light.
