TREASURE OF A MOTHER

Not all treasures come in the form of silver and gold,

Some come as people, their names are untold.

There is a special person that to me is a treasure,

Being her son has been and is a priceless pleasure.

An example of love she has been throughout my days,

I offer her my thanks, I offer her my praise.

She seeks to help others and meet their need,

A special woman she is a precious jewel indeed.

Patience and love are with her in her ways,

God's wisdom and blessing are with her all her days.

She has been a faithful wife as well as a mother,

To whom does she compare, there is no other.

Smothered by her love and always her prayers,

Whenever I talk to her I know she cares.

My motivation to achieve and do the things I should,

She encourages me to love others and do all that is good.

I see her not as unordinary or similar to the rest,

But an ordinary woman led by God that seeks to do her best.

There is so much more to cherish and always more to say,

As I reflect on my Mother today on Mother's Day.

The treasure of a Mother is a gift very dear,

It brings my thoughts to a pause and to my heart a joyful cheer.

Dear God I thank you for my Mother for she is a special one,

I count it a priceless treasure to always be called her son.
