Mother's Love in The Storms Of Life
by: Helen Steiner Rice

A mother's love is like an island in life's ocean vast and wide-
A peaceful, quiet shelter from the restless, rising tide.
A mother's love is like a fortress, and we seek protection there
When the waves of tribulation seem to drown us in despair.

A mother's love is a sanctuary where our souls can find sweet rest
From the struggle and the tension of life's fast and futile quest.
A mother's love is like a tower rising far above the crowd,
And her smile is like the sunshine breaking through a threatening cloud.

A mother's love is like a beacon burning bright with faith and prayer,
And through the changing scenes of life we can find a haven there.

For Mothers play the leading roles In giving birth to little souls,
For though 'small souls' are heaven-sent And we realise they're only lent,
It takes a Mother's loving hands And her gentle heart that understands
To mould and shape this little life And shelter it through storm and strife…
No other love than MOTHER LOVE Could do the things required of
keeping care of His little ones, awake or sleeping.

For a mother's life is fashioned after God's enduring love-
It is endless and unfailing like the love of Him above.
For God knew he couldn't be everywhere,So He put His little children
in a loving mother's care.
