A Mother Is Special
in Mother Poems
A mother is a special gift
From our Father in heaven above.
She holds, consoles; spirits she lifts,
She gives to her children enduring love.
I am a writer of poetry, children/adult stories and I am near completion of a novel and will be publishing a Christian poetry book in the very near future. I have poems published in two poetry anthologies, P.S. It's Poetry and P.S. It's Still Poetry. I also am published in Prolific Press's Haiku Journal, Three Line Poetry Journal and 50 Haikus Journal.
My favorite things to do are reading, writing, painting, drawing and antique shopping.
I hope you all enjoy reading my poetry and I pray for the well-being of each and every one of you. May God bless you and keep you!

That Phenomenal Lady...
That fantastically raised me
Lived life to the fullest,
Extended love to the cruelest;
Before I met you, I was dead - now I live.
My heart could not receive love, nor could it give -
The moment I met you I was forever changed,
I agree with you wholeheartedly Nan. I have two beautiful daughters with totally different personalities. I had them early in life and people often mistake them for my sisters. We laugh and joke around but they know when I am serious. I thank God for giving me these two amazing treasures. And I am a grandmother! Why that is the very best gift of all!! There's absolutely nothing like it in this world!
This is a wonderful sentimental poem. It depicts a loving relationship between father and child. My father came into my life as an adult and unfortunately we did not get to make many memories. I am however glad for the time we had. I'm sure your stanzas have many others reflecting on precious moments spent with dad!
Pat, I think this poem is fabulous as all of your poems I have read. I am a forever fan and friend. Love ya!
