The Mother of All Nurturers
Posted: May 11, 2014
A Mothers Day tribute&hellp;
To the mother of all nurturers
I proudly tip my cap.
My mom is still the wind beneath my wings.
From the time I was a baby
she has whispered "Yes, you can!"
And so with words that rhyme, her praise I sing.
When those bullies on the playground
pushed me down or bruised my pride,
when I was cut and didn't make the team,
my mother would remind me
that while feelings can be hurt
rejection isn't always what it seems.
"When a door is closed," my mom would say
"a window opens up."
And "the nos of life prepare us to hear yes."
She would help me see that God's at work
when I can?t see His hand
