The Love Of A Mother Stands The Test Of Time Poem by Francis Duggan

They may be in prison for wrong they have done
But the mother does stand by her daughter and son
Though they have brought shame on the family name
She will not disown them despite their ill fame
She stands by her offspring though from grace they did fall
The love of a mother the greatest love of all
Than all of loves a greater love never known
The mother her children will never disown
Though they may have brought upon themselves disgrace
In her mind they always retain pride of place
Despite their sins them she will never deny
The children she gave birth to she always stands by
The love of a mother stands the test of time
It has inspired writers to story and rhyme.
