Ode to Mothers
by Kristen Mc Kendall
Mothers cannot do it all
But surely, they do try.
Mothers hear the angel’s call,
To comfort all who cry.
Mothers for themselves may fall,
For others they will fly.
Mothers bear the weight of all,
For their children they would die.
A mother’s gift extends beyond
All bounds of time and space.
Her lovingness and nurturing
Make earth a peaceful place.
