A Mother's Love

By Goslyn Robson
*Dedicated to Lovely MUM, the late Naomi Keruveto

A mother’s love is something that no one can explain.

It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain.

It is endless and unselfish and enduring,

Come what may! For nothing can destroy it or take that love away.

It is patient and forgiving, when all others are forsaking,

And it never fails or fatters, even though the heart is breaking.

It believes on believing,

When the world around condemns,

It glows with all the beauty of the rare, brightest gems.

It is far beyond defying.

It defies all explanation and it still remains a secret.

Like mysteries of creation,

And many splendour miracles that men cannot understand,

And another wondrous guidance of God’s guiding hand.
