I don’t know that I have ever been known for my poetic skills but I will give it a shot. I would love to share a poem with you that I wrote for Jennie on Mothers Day. I believe there is no greater reflection of God’s love to me than through the devoted caring practices of my loyal and loving wife. Ella and I want her to know we love her on this special day.
“A Glimpse of God”
I thank God today for the women he’s given
To brighten my life and help me enjoy livin’
She’s loving and serving and faithful and free
She makes feel special, she’s just right for me
A gift that grows deeper each day that we live
She pours out her life so much does she give
As a mother she excels and goes the extra mile
The depth of her giving we shall never unpile
An extraordinary mom that loves without asking
She serves my daughter Ella in her joy we live basking
I see in my Ella her beauty and love
Such joy that only comes from the gracious God above
She’s “mommy”, and “mine” and “thank you” and “now”
She’s always teaching and loving and forgiving somehow
Her faith and patience we daily admire
Her presence and company we always desire
A woman with gifts that never seem to end
My wife, my partner, my best friend
May she always know how precious she is
A blessing to us and a daughter of HIS
Thank you Jennie there’s so much we could say
But we’ll end with WE LOVE YOU and ….
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!
