Although Mother’s Day will be different this year, there is no doubt that there will be love flowing out to mothers in many different ways. For all of the mums out there, I offer you this poem and a prayer. May your day be a happy one, no matter what form it takes.

A Mother's Love

There are times when only a mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all of our fears.
There are times when only a mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.
There are times when only a mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.
For a mother's heart and a mother's faith
And a mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the angels
And sent from God above.

Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.
