Creation of a Mother

Margaret V.Doran

I will make you like Me
loving and kind
of sinew and bone
yet soft and comfortable
and you must walk in My wake
where the waters are smoother
and there is some respite
you must be all things
wise and calm, patient and strong
teacher and friend, provider and nurturer
disciplinarian and judge
you must bear pain
and love unconditionally
for I have chosen you
to be a mother
and when you fail
call out to Me; lift up your hand
I will be there to hold you up
for you are still My precious child
and I will be your guide
