MOTHERS AND GRANDMOTHERS

Mothers and grandmothers are in this world,
To help us grow and learn;
They pray to God everyday,
And let Him know their concern.

The job of raising children,
Is a big one not done alone;
But with the Lord's gentle guidance,
Children find love and a home.

A mother must sometimes be strict,
But love always leads the way;
It isn't a part-time position,
She's a mother every day.

Mothers shed many a tear,
For a child that is in pain;
But she will also laugh and cheer,
When the world her child gains.

A mother's job is not over,
When all her children are grown;
For then she becomes a grandmother,
With children who are on loan.

It's the greatest job a woman can have,
If she follows God's loving will;
And when the world comes to an end,
She'll be a mother still.
