- A Mother’s Heart - There is something about a Mother’s heart Unending love right from the start Given by God knit in the womb Woven whispers that burst into bloom Melodious harmonies of life can be found With every heartbeat creating new sound Visions of purpose planted within Creating its’ path again and again Love interwoven into each breath Never abandoned even at death At the miracle of birth Angels burst into song Rejoicing the life God has carried along Seen and created in that secret place Known and wrapped in God’s warm embrace Made perfect and pure, protected from harm Till it can be held in its Mother’s arm A heart that believes in love at first sight will carry her through the darkness of night No shame, no regret, for the choice she has made of the gift of a child God created to save Though others throw stones rejecting the truth This life has great worth of purpose and proof A future bought for by death on a Cross Already given, paid at a great cost The heart of a Mother sees beauty and grace Every time she sees that beaconing face Her heart has a hold that nothing can tear A bond not broken but burdened to bear A Mother’s Heart, holds Heaven in hand Spirit breathed LIFE purposed and planned Heavenly glimpses of Glory on earth God’s Image Bearers of Beauty at birth
