A Mother’s Eyes Reflect the Love of Heaven

By Steven Jones

A mother’s eyes reflect the love of heaven.

A love born long before this life began.
A love which grows each day, which will not fade away,
A love inspired by Heavenly Father’s plan.

A mother’s hands reflect a life of service,

A life of sacrifice for those she loves,
And with her giving hands she shapes the soul of man,
Prepares him for eternal life above.

A mother’s words teach children righteous living,

And her example leads them to the light,
She speaks the words of truth that guide their tender youth,
And points the course they take throughout their lives.

A mother’s life reflects itself in our life,

Her ways of living are engrained in ours,
And through the changing years and days of joy and tears,
Her love will lead us on,
Her words will point the course,

Her hands will lift us up to God.
