A Mother’s Gift

Just as the river Niger flows
Through the ages,
so does a Mother’s love
Just as Noah’s Ark provided
safe harbor from the tempest,
So does a Mother’s prayers.
And just as a physician’s hands
can heal the body
So can a Mother’s touch heal the spirit
Your love is a constant in my life
Unfailing, unquestionable,
and forever needed.

The Lord bless you and keep you. May He show His face to you and have mercy. May He turn His countenance to you and give you peace. The Lord bless you!

May you live as long as you want, And never want as long as you live.
May your neighbors respect you, Trouble neglect you, The angels protect you, And heaven accept you.
