Mother’s Day is celebrated on the 2nd Sunday of May every year. Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in our society. On this special day, we honour and celebrate mothers with a beautiful poem by Helen Steiner Rice (below). Wishing all mothers a merry and joyous Mother’s Day.
A Mother’s Love
Helen Steiner Rice
A Mother's love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendored miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.
