About Mothers

div

Inexperience is permitted,
No special skills required,
Must love kids and pets,
Eager attitude desired.

div

A loving heart's essential,
Soft, gentleness, a plus,
A kindly, warm demeanor,
Combined with tenderness.
 
Add agility of body,
And dexterity of hands,
Both can be instinctive,
But be ready on demand.

div

Have good ears, with which to hear,
Sharp eyes, with which to see,
Arms strong enough for hugging,
And a spirit, fancy-free.
 
Can speak to God in heaven,
Have folded hands to pray.
Have ability to guide and teach,
And ability to play,

div

Can cook, and bake, and clean, and sew,
Can nurture little souls,
Knows how to hold on tightly
Yet, how to hold, when letting go.
 
Mothers some day return to God,
Yet, never do depart,
A mother's love, eternal love,
Forever in one's heart.
