Mother Poem by Michael P. Johnson

I bless each smile upon your face
Your tender voice of love
The way you walk with charm and grace
So gentle as a dove

You’ve blessed my life and made it sweet
With warmth and loving care
Revealing at our Saviour’s feet
That God has much to share

Such happiness through you I’ve found
Our hands entwined as one
When just we two with joyful sound
Give praise to Christ God’s Son

The lessons learnt upon your knees
The fragrance of your hair
The sweet aroma bringing ease
Knowing you’re always there

I feel the love so crystal clear
Your tenderness of hand
I bless each time you take my fear
And make me understand

I bless each night and every dawn
Our Saviour seeks to give
I bless the day this child was born
And how you teach me live

You do it well you do it good
The truth’s quite plain to see
I’m living life the way I should
With Him who set us free

Now all grown up I’ve children too
Within our hearts there’s peace
Through Jesus’ grace and birth anew
Our lives will never cease
