Heaven has a Mother’s Day

Heaven has its Mother's Day
This special time of year
No matter how much pain we feel
Our mothers are always near

We cannot touch, we cannot see
But in our hearts, they'll always be
Never forgotten, just gone away
To meet again on judgment day 

Heaven has its deliveries
Of messages, chocolates, and flowers
No doubt there's a busy postman
Serving up all of ours

There isn't just one amazing mom
They're too numerous to count above
So share a word of thanks to God
For the mom you miss, the mom you love

--Gary Close

Mother's Day Prayer

My mom, I love her
And that's why I pray
Not just today on this Mother's Day

But with each remembrance
Of the love she's expressed
My thankfulness to the Lord I've professed

For my life began
In a warm and safe place
Then grew more secure in Mom's tender embrace

When I was little
She taught me to crawl
Then to walk and run, and get up when I fall

Nurtured and cared for
She raised me to stand
Lifted, supported, by her loving hand

She believed in me
Inspired me to dream
Nothing was impossible for me, it seemed

It was her example
That pointed the way
To the life in Christ I know today

My mom, I love her
On this Mother's Day
She's the reason I'm taking this moment to pray

My mom, I love her
Let her know, dear Lord
Please bless her with the most abundant reward

--Mary Fairchild
