Devotional Poetry

The Perfect Mother

The Perfect Mother

Her voice is the sweet melody descending from heaven;
Angelic choirs sing her praise;
Peace and love surround her children;
Paradise is the home she creates through
Years of uncomplaining sacrifice.

Merry voices can be heard in heaven,
Odes to her many virtues singing.
There is no one else in the universe that can rival
Her beauty, graces, and wisdom.
Each of her children know they are loved for themselves alone.
Rare is the day that she does not make a willing sacrifice.
Security for her is her children's best interest.

Daily prayer she teaches her children,
Along with love for humanity:
Yet she always allows them to think for themselves.

I wrote this sometime in 149 B.E. probably for Mothers' Day.
