A Mothers’s Love
It’s not something that you see, they say, you’ll feel it in your heart
That may be true for some kinds of love but for some, that’s just the start
A Mother’s love is not the same as ordinary love
It’s a gift God gave to the babies when he sent them from above
I’m a mom myself, and so I know this to be true
But I also learned it from my mom in the things that she would do
Another great example of a Mother’s love to me
Is my sweet Aunt Rhea and her precious angel Nellie
I could feel that mother love as it flowed out from her soul
To that precious angel Nellie there’s no way she didn’t know
That mother she could show it though so even I could see
That mother loved her dolly and was as proud as she could be
It was in the way she spoke to her, or looked at her little girl
It was in the way she fixed her socks, or combed an unruly curl
It was how she understood her, no words did Nellie need
Her mother listened carefully with her heart and she could see
It was how gently that she moved her and helped her lay just right
It’s in the way she worried constantly and could hardly sleep at night
It’s in the way she fed her and always put her first
She was a mom, a friend, a companion and even was her nurse
She changed her life in such a way to make life better for them both
She always needed Nell to know that she always loved her most
She knew that Nell had favorite things and some she couldn’t stand
But one thing is for certain, Nell was part of the Casper band
She loved to play guitar, a tambourine, and sing aloud
So mother changed guitar strings, she smiled and was proud
Nell loved to roll wheels on cars and other things that rolled
So mother picked them up and down, it never did get old
This mother I’m sure felt lonely sometimes in a quiet home
But she loved her girl, bigger than the world, and never was alone
Our Nellie was so very loved, by all who knew her heart
But none was bigger, than the love, she earned right from the start
Her momma loved her, so very much it made me truly see
That a mother’s love is endless as a mothers’s love should be
And it’s strong enough, I think, that even when space is vast
Like heaven and earth and farther still a mothers’s love can last
