An Ode To Mother

It seems the angels were singing a song, And their melody pleased God’s ears; Singing of to whom such love belong, They could subdue all pain and fears. He asked them about who became Possessed of a kind of love so grand. He was told of the sweetest mortal name That ever satisfied the hearts of man. The dear name “Mother” God then heard, It giving sound to the throb of His heart, As if such a title was that preferred, And such a figure so honored in classic art. My own dear mother was second to none, And enjoys her deserved Elysian rest. Thus since down from heaven came the Son, Her role and function is eternally blessed.
