A Mother's Beatitude

I received the poem from my pastor and thought it was really beautiful.



Blessed is the mother who understands her child,

For she shall inherit a kingdom of memories.



Blessed is the mother who knows how to comfort,

For she shall possess a child’s devotion.



Blessed is the mother who guides by the path of righteousness,

For she shall be proud of her offspring.



Blessed is the mother who teaches respect,

For she shall be respected.



Blessed is the mother who emphasizes the good and corrects the bad,

For in like manner the child shall make evaluations.



Blessed is the mother who answers simply the startling questions,

For she shall always be trusted.



Blessed is the mother who has character strong enough to withstand the thoughtless remarks and resentments of the growing child,

For in due time, she shall be honoured.


Thank God for mothers. I wouldn't know where I would be if not for my mom.
