A Mother

Her feet cover a variety of paths,
but with her children
no one can walk
as a mother can.

Her eyes see to the needs of her home,
but in her children
no one can see
what a mother sees.

Her heart flows to her husband in love,
but to her children
no one gives love
like a mother.

Her life is given in service to many,
but for her children
her life she would lose.
Yes, that’s a mother.
