A Mother's Love Observed


"Help me, mom, please?" he asked, then, he begged-
The questions seemed simple to me--
What's your name?
How old are you now?
What sport did you play in the games?
For the twelve year old child the questions were hard,
He had no answers to give,
His mom gave the response, the boy nodded his head,
A scene played again and again.
As I watched, I saw the depth of her love, her smile showing pride in this boy,
I witnessed the best of God's grace to the child
Through the mom who bore this choice son.
She relies on God's strength as she faces each day
Helping her child do what he can.
And her son? He's learned to love Jesus
Because of the love of his mom.
