A Mother's Voice

The echo of her voice within your ears,
The sweetest breath of her love and reasons,
Will sway your  beating heart and calm your fears
Through all your life, through all your seasons.

A Mother's voice is soft with firm commands;
You march in knowledge of your welcome here,
Each halting step surrounded by her hands,
And even far away, she's always near.

Thanks, Mom.  Happy Mother's Day!!
