Mother's Love

Her love is like

An island in life's ocean,

Vast and wide

A peaceful, quiet shelter

From the wind, the rain, the tide.

It is bound on the north by Hope,

By Patience on the West,

By tender Counsel on the South

And on the East by Rest.

Above it like a beacon light

Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;

And through the changing scenes of life

I find a haven there.
