In Gratitude for Mothers

Lord Jesus, to You I pray in gratitude: For my mother, whose arms held me close, Touching my heart with her gentle love; For the lessons taught on how to live: Pray, forgive, and rise above.

For her comfort as I tried my wings Sometimes falling when I longed to soar; For encouragement to try again, While loving me all the more.

For her love forever in my heart And cherished memories I embrace— Her ways of seeing, doing, bearing, With humility and grace.

Amen.
