A Godly Mother is a gift
from the Lord above
she reflects His image
the way she shows her love
A nurturer and protector
for her growing brood
faithful to her labor
her grace daily renewed
A firm and steady anchor
holds fast in every storm
she shelters her dear family
to keep them safe and warm
The lessons that she teaches
as children grow and climb
has enduring value
to last a whole lifetime
Dear Jane you are a blessing
to your children and their own
their lives have been influenced
by you, their cornerstone

This is gorgeous darling Dennis.
You've shown how easy it is to rhyme for starters, but more than that you have reached into space and time and pulled words together that will touch Little Dear and more than that, Richard.
